Known as the second most popular route on Kilimanjaro, the Machame Route offers beautiful forests and is excellent for acclimatization. Commonly referred to as the "whiskey route," this Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Route is renowned for its popularity among climbers.
The summit journey on this route begins around midnight, marking the start of the final ascent to Uhuru Peak, Africa's highest point. The climb to the crater rim represents the trek's most demanding segment, with a steep trail leading up to Stella Point.
From Stella Point, the hike to Uhuru Peak involves a gradual climb. Upon reaching the summit, celebrate your achievement with photos alongside your guide and group before you start your descent to Mweka Camp. The descent offers spectacular views of the mountain, its crater, the surrounding clouds, and the glaciers.
After descending, a well-deserved breakfast awaits at Barafu Camp, followed by a short break before you continue to Mweka Camp.

I hiked Killimanjaro with a local company called Ascend Tanzania. I could not recommend a company more highly.
I had no idea what I was signing up for when I decided, without any prior experience of a trek of this calibre
Climbing Kilimanjaro was one of my greatest mountain experience so far.
Ascend is a top-notch Kilimanjaro tour guide company that I would highly recommend
Ascend tanzania is an affordable company run by the most efficient local people!
"Excellent Company To Climb With"
I booked my Kilimanjaro climb (6 Day Machame route) with Ascend Tanzania because I was travelling solo and on a budget
