Details about this trip
Machame Route: Often dubbed the “Whiskey” route, the Machame Route is renowned for its scenic diversity and is considered more challenging than the Marangu Route. Climbers traverse through lush rainforests, heath, and alpine deserts before reaching the summit. The distance covered is approximately 62 kilometers (37 miles). The Machame Route is ideal for those seeking a more adventurous and scenic trek. The best times to undertake this route are from January to March and June to October when weather conditions are favorable.
