Frequently referred to as the Whisky Route, the Machame trail is widely regarded as one of Kilimanjaro’s most scenic and preferred choices. This well-liked path winds through striking forests and inclines towards a ridge that carries on through the moorland areas to the Shira Plateau. The trek continues beneath the glacier-laden cliffs of the Southern Ice fields, eventually merging with the Barafu Route towards the peak. Thanks to its manageable slopes and option for prolonged exploration, this route boasts a significantly higher peak reach success rate.
