6 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing, Machame Route
Kilimanjaro, Tanzania | Hiking & TrekkingStarting at $1,490 per trip pp
Active Adventure
The 6-day Machame Route is one of the most scenic and rewarding ways to summit Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m), offering a perfect balance of adventure, acclimatization, and breathtaking landscapes. Known as the “Whiskey Route” due to its more challenging terrain compared to the Marangu Route, this trek takes you through Kilimanjaro's diverse ecosystems, from the lush rainforest at the base to the alpine desert and icy glaciers near the summit. The 6-day itinerary is designed for trekkers who are physically fit and can adapt to the faster ascent, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a shorter yet exhilarating climb.
This route follows a climb-high, sleep-low strategy to improve acclimatization while navigating steep ridges, rocky landscapes, and the famous Barranco Wall, a thrilling yet manageable scramble. The highlight of the journey is the midnight summit push to Uhuru Peak, where you'll witness a once-in-a-lifetime sunrise from the highest point in Africa. Throughout the trek, you will be guided by an experienced team of professional guides, porters, and cooks, ensuring safety, comfort, and a truly unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience.

Typical Day
Your adventure begins at Machame Gate, where you'll complete registration and meet your experienced guides and porters. The trek starts with a scenic hike through lush rainforest, home to diverse wildlife and towering trees draped in moss. The trail is well-defined but can be muddy and slippery, especially after rain. As you ascend, the dense forest gradually gives way to giant heathers and ferns before arriving at Machame Camp, your first overnight stop.
