Description
One of, if not the most popular climbing route to the summit of Kilimanjaro (5,895m), the Macheme Route is a great way to explore, enjoy and conquer this incredible peak.
The highest mountain in all of Africa, Kilimanjaro stands like a titan, surrounded by gorgeous landscape. And, along the Machame Route, you will get to make your through a great deal of the amazing forest on the way to the mountain all the way to the Shira Plateau. From there, we will go to the Machame Gate before making our way progressively up the mountain.
The Macheme Route, which is also known as the Whiskey Route, has one of the highest success rates when it comes to reaching the summit of the peak. The reason for that is it offers great acclimatization by helping climbers walk high and sleep low. You will also get to rest in comfortable mountain huts during the expedition as well.
Well known for the fantastic viewpoints that offer some of the best views of and from Kilimanjaro, the Macheme Route is not without its challenges. Since it offers the shortest itinerary, the route is quite demanding. It is also quite steep and physically tiring. As a result, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition. Prior hiking experience is recommended as well.
To climb a mountain like Kilimanjaro is to make the dream of many adventurers come true. To enjoy the experience for yourself, please send a request. We look forward to guiding you.
We also offer an 8-day climb of the mountain along the quieter and less used Shira Route.

Tremendous team-effort , highly professional attitude & coordination , mind-blowing guides & their game-drives , neat arrangements even in very adverse situations , superb hospitality from each & every employee..... Claudious Tours & Safaris made us feel at home from the very moment we stepped in Africa. Thank you for everything you did to us. Our trip wouldn't be so pleasant & successful without you guys.
In June, 2009 I climbed Mount Kenya, with Trekking Mount Kenya. I spent 4 days on the mountain and experienced the wonderful challenge and the friendly helpfulness and knowledge of my guides and porters. Everything was provided for my comfort and enjoyment so that it was a thoroughly fabulous and memorable trek! I recommend this company whole-heartedly.
Very organized, very friendly and professional staff. The tour was great, everything was as planned.

The Climbing Guides and service in both Kenya and Tanzania were super (5+ stars) Kenya Shem, Joxhu, Joseph & Agustin super and thanks. For Kilimanjaro, Deus and Goodlucky were fantastic. However Claudios needs to update the schedule (Lake Nakuru day 7 was canceled) and make available lunches (they were missing on 3 days to and from Nairobi) and make clear when travel will be alone. Finally the Nairobi service agent pushes additional add on Nairobi packages. These are of poor value and should be avoided. These additional package coverage was misleading and I should have avoided completely. This was a Nairobi issue only. Everyone else was above board and super to work with. in summary, the climbs are great and highly recommended. Note the published schedule is not exact and deal with the Nairobi service agent with caution. (Don't take the additional offerings.) Overall it was a very good experience where I met with many great people. Thanks to all.
