Drive to Machame Gate, Hike to Machame Camp
Machame - Elevation: 1830m To 3050m | Distance: 11km/7mi | Hiking Time: 5-6 Hours
Drive from Moshi to the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Gate takes about 45 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. We depart the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge. At lower elevations, the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue a short distance until we reach the Machame Camp.

The Machame route, often referred to as the “Whiskey” path, has become the most favored trail on the mountain. It offers more challenge than the Marangu course, with extended daily treks and steeper slopes. Recognized as a demanding path, it is more fitting for thrill-seekers and individuals with prior hiking or backpacking know-how. This route commences from the south, then veers eastwards, passing beneath Kilimanjaro’s southern ice cap before reaching the apex. A minimum of six-day commitment is necessary for this route, though a seventh day is advised. The Machame route provides stunning and varied scenery. However, the charm is somewhat diminished due to considerable crowd numbers.
