About This Trip
Kilimanjaro Climb Via Machame Route 7 Days
Machame Route, known as the Whiskey Route, has become very popular. This camping route offers spectacular views of landscapes such as Mt Meru, Pare Mountains, Lake Chala, and Lake Jipe. While the six-day itinerary is possible, having the seven-day Machame climb is very beneficial because you get one more extra day for acclimatization and resting before the summit day. Doing this will reduce your chances of contracting altitude sickness and maximize your chance of reaching the summit
