Resumo da viagem
The Machame Route, also referred to as the “Whisky Route”, is a popular yet challenging trek up Mount Kilimanjaro. The route goes up steep paths, through enchanting forests and over a ridge leading through the moorland zones to the Shira Plateau, where you will have the opportunity to witness wide-open skies and the mountain’s grandeur. The trail is an exercise in endurance and presents climbers with the beauty of Kilimanjaro’s varied landscapes.

Your day starts early with a briefing, followed by breakfast and a 45-minute drive from Moshi (910m) to the Machame Park Gate. You will receive a packed lunch box at the gate and we advise you to bring bottled water available to purchase at Springlands Hotel in Moshi. After registering at the gate office, you start your ascent by entering the rainforest. There is a possibility of rain in the forest, which will transform the trail into a very soggy, muddy, and slippery experience. In the evening the porters will boil drinking and washing water. The cook will prepare dinner before you retire to your tent for the night. Night temperatures can drop to freezing point at Machame camp.
