Kilimanjaro - Machame "Whiskey" Route - 6-7 days
Nicknamed the "Whiskey" route because the route is popularized as somewhat difficult and more expensive than the Marangu route. On an overall comparison of the routes to scale Kilimanjaro, this is one of the best routes to take, both in terms of acclimatization and cost. In certain sections this route is steeper than the Marangu and Rongai routes and physically more demanding but is easier overall.
Great for acclimatization with many walk high, sleep low opportunities.
Challenging trek with scenery through five diverse climatic zones.
Good opportunity to split pre-summit day climb to leave climbers rested before summiting.
Fully catered camping only.
