7 days Kilimanjaro climb via Machame route (Whiskey route)

The Machame route, also known as the "Whiskey" route, is the most popular route on Kilimanjaro. Machame’s draw is in its scenic beauty. However, the trail is considered difficult, steep and challenging, particularly due to its shorter itinerary.

Therefore this route is better suited for more adventurous folks or those with some high altitude, hiking or backpacking experience.
