Highlights

Machame gate To Machame Camp

Mount Kilimanjaro - One hour’s drive from Moshi lies the gate to the Machame route, where we complete park formalities, meet our crew of porters and start to climb! The first section of the route climbs steadily and passes through magnificent, dense rain forest. This path is less well-trodden so it can get somewhat overgrown in places and it is often wet and muddy underfoot.

Additional Information

The Machame trail, also referred to as the Whiskey trail, is known for its challenging ascents, in stark contrast to the comparatively simpler Marangu trail, colloquially referred to as the Coca Cola trail.

Perfect experience of Kili treckking and Serengeti safari - I cannot speak highly enough of Exceed Expectation company. We booked a 6-day trekking service to Mount Kilimanjaro and a 5-day safari to the Serengeti grasslands, both of which exceeded our expectations. The owner, Oscar, is a local Tanzanian who is extremely trustworthy. He was always prompt, patient, and attentive in his email responses, and his organizational skills were top-notch. The climbing team was professional, with experienced and enthusiastic guides who helped our family successfully reach the summit, including our 11-year-old child. The hot meals provided during the climb were a welcome relief and helped alleviate the hardships of climbing and altitude sickness. The safari driver was courteous and professional, showing us all the animals we wanted to see and providing us with valuable knowledge about the wildlife. We were able to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Serengeti grasslands. I would give Exceed Expectation company a five-star rating and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized travel experience.

“6 Days Kilimanjaro Trek via Machame + 4 Days Safari” - Oscar, the owner, was really simple to deal with and responsive. He met us at the hotel with our guide before the climb to ensure we were ready and to address any concerns we had. Both our hiking and safari guides were wonderful and gave excellent service. Cheers to John and Nicholas! For the entire six days, we were wonderfully taken care of. We chose the mid-range option for our 4 days Safari. So the rooms were moderate, but that was to be expected. The only recommendation I have is to hire a toilet porter - the restrooms in the campers were filthy, and I saw the other groups struggling over this. Overall, we had a fantastic trip, and we appreciate Exceed Expectations Tours excellent services.
