Machame Route or the “whiskey route” is one of the most popular routes due to its picturesque views and varied landscapes. However, climbing through Machame Route is a bit difficult as compared to Marangu route. Even though the walk on the Machame route is steeper and longer, still the success rate is higher than the Marangu route.
Machame Route is not technically difficult, but the climb is more exhausting as it has many ups and downs crossing a chain of valleys and ridges. Therefore, the route is best suited for people with some hiking or trekking experiences and for those who love adventures. For first-timers the climbers, the route can be tiring.
Machame Route starts from the south, heading towards the east, navigating beneath the southern ice fields ahead of summiting. Usually, the minimum days to summit Kilimanjaro through this route is six, but seven days is recommended.

The drive from Moshi to the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Gate takes about 50 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. We now leave the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge. Lower down, 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. Elevation (ft): 5,400ft to 9,400ft •Distance: 11 km •Hiking Time: 5-7 hours •Habitat: Rain Forest

From the Shira Plateau, we continue to the east up a ridge, passing the junction towards the peak of Kibo. As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the Lava Tower, called the “Shark’s Tooth.” Shortly after the tower, we come to the second junction which brings us up to the Arrow Glacier at an altitude of 16,000ft. We now continue down to the Barranco Hut at an altitude of 13,000ft. Here we rest, enjoy dinner, and overnight. Although you end the day at the same elevation as when you started, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day. •Elevation (ft): 12,500ft to 13,000ft •Distance: 10 km •Hiking Time: 6-8 hours •Habitat: Semi Desert

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. At Stella Point, you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see (weather permitting), you may encounter snow all they way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. At Uhuru Peak, you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. Faster hikers will see the sunrise from the summit. From the summit, we now make our descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut camp site, stopping at Barafu for lunch. You will want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down. Mweka Camp is situated in the upper forest and mist or rain can be expected in the late afternoon. Later in the evening, we enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.

Very professional and experienced guides. The company is locally owned and operated. We did the 7 day route and they got us up and down safely. Affordable

Thank you Kisaza team for the unforgetable experiance! I never experianced such a good service from day one to the last day. Stephen was fast replying and sharing his experiance giving proactive solution to all the doubts we had. A leader which held every worth, having de taxi ready in the airport at 04.00 and beeing picked up at 03.00 in order to fly out. Michael and Francis were out heroes, the experiance in the mountain how to reach the summit. Both were very helpfull, patient and funny which is the perfect mix for a 6 days hike. Louis the cook prepared delicious meals every day, in our case two, veggie and one with meat. There was more then enough food for both of us! The team with Dave as our most visible person was out angel. The first who was wake up to bring us the tea in out tent and the fastet packing the tents, carry them to the next place and build them up before we arrived. Conclusion, I would only chose them for a hike to the Kili or to the everest. Thank you all Again and wish you the best. Asante!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience climbing Kilimanjaro! Choosing Kisaza Adventures for our 6-day Machame Route trek was the best decision—we felt supported, safe, and incredibly well taken care of. A big highlight was the food! Cooking in the mountains is not easy, but Louis, our chef, worked magic. Every meal felt like dining in a restaurant, and he was incredibly attentive to my dietary restrictions (vegetarian and food intolerances), which made a huge difference. Our guides, Michael and Francis, were phenomenal. They knew exactly when to push, when to encourage, and when to slow down, ensuring we had the best chance of reaching Uhuru Peak in good health and spirits. Their expertise and motivation were invaluable. And then there was David, the true morning hero! Waking up in a tent is not easy, but when someone greets you with a warm smile and coffee or tea in bed, the day already starts perfectly! This climb was not just about reaching the summit; it was about the people who made it happen. The entire Kisaza team worked together flawlessly, creating an experience that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a professional yet personal trek to the top of Africa!

The organization and operation of the tour by Kisaza was absolutely amazing and left nothing to be desired! From the included airport pickup two days before the start to the drop off at the complementary hotel after the 7 day tour, everything went as smoothly as it possibly could have. Steven even came to the hotel just to greet us the night we arrived, followed by a professional briefing and checking of the equipment the next day together with our two guides. During the tour, the whole team was super friendly, professional, and helpful. Every time we arrived to a new camp, the tent was already up and shortly after, we were served an always delicious and fresh meal. When we were just hanging out and relaxing after the day‘s hike, the team also regularly offered snacks such as popcorn as well as tea/coffee, which we considered very thoughtful! Every night after dinner, our two guides checked on us and our wellbeing and gave a briefing on the next day. They planned everything according to our preferences and pace, which was especially great on the summit day (or rather night), where we arrived perfectly for sunrise at Uhuru Peak. As this surely was not the case for many other people summiting, this can be considered one of the most outstanding perks of going with Kisaza! We were overall more than satisfied with Kisaza and couldn’t recommend the company more! There wasn’t a single thing we could have complained about and the price is an absolute steal compared to many other companies, especially considering the outstanding performance of the whole team. We also climbed Mount Meru with Kisaza last year by the way, which was just as perfect as the Kilimanjaro tour this time. So all in all, there is absolutely no reason to hesitate to book your tour with Kisaza!

So my husband and I decided that Kilimanjaro would be a great adventure for his 49+1 birthday... Kisaza was from the start professional and attentive in their communication. Then on the trek, we couldn't have had a better team. Ezekiel and Michael, our guides, prepared us for the next day's hike and weather. We took the Machame route and did not summit, and also decided 15703 feet was enough to see that altitude sickness is real! I'd strongly recommend getting a toilet! The cook Lusekelo made some amazing vegetarian food.

Went on safari with Kisaza (5 days) and climed the Kilimanjaro with Kisaza (8 days). Both tours were arranged perfectly. Seen the big 5, stayed at nice accomodations, reached Uhuru Peak and had the best experience of our life! The contact beforehand with Steven was very pleasant: very quick and clear communication via whatsapp. Send him a message and he will reply within one hour, but probably even faster! The food that our cook made for us at the Kilimanjaro was delicious and the whole crew of 11 people (private tour) was great! They treated us like king and queen (or as babies, that's how they called it). If we would go again, no single doubt that we will do it via Kisaza again. Very much recommended!

Steve and his team were immaculate. From the airport transfers to the climb itself, they’re the perfect professionals, providing the best possible experience.

There are not many tour companies that can arrange back-to-back climbs of Mount Meru (inside Arusha National Park) and Kilimanjaro, but Kisaza Tours did this for us perfectly. About a month before our departure, we started arranging everything via email with Steven, the owner/manager of Kisaza. He was always quick to answer any question or concern we had from the smallest details to the biggest. Both climbs went perfectly with Kisaza arranging everything including transportation from the airport, hotels, and parks; and 2 fantastic teams taking us up 2 mountains. On Kilimanjaro, other tourists were jealous of the service we had: the most experienced, safe, upbeat guides (Mussa and Hillary) who checked our vitals each day and always kept us informed as to what we would be doing; our cook (Saidi) and waiter (Preescus) prepared meals as if we were in a 5 star restaurant; and the porters with their difficult job of carrying heavy loads up a tall mountain were always smiling. On Meru, it was just us (with the exception of a Dutch couple we saw coming down as we went up). Our team there was also fantastic. Meru is an off-the-beaten-path mountain that if you have time, should climb because you get a trekking safari within it! We climbed Kili 10 years ago with a different company (local also, we only book local) and loved that company too, but Kisaza was even better, which we did not think was possible. For all you Americans who worry about sending money across the world, do not worry. You are in good hands with Kisaza. Steven's teams who will do everything possible to make your trip perfect.

I booked a private Kilimanjaro climb for me and my girlfriend with Kisaza Tours, it was a great decision. Communication was super convenient, we talked via WhatsApp to close dates and everything. The evening before the climb, we were picked up from the airport and taken to a hotel in Moshi. In the morning the guides came to ensure we had all the necessary equipment. The missing equipment was rented in Moshi before going to the gate, and everything was super convenient. At the Machame gate, we took our day packs on us and left the big bags for the porters. The hike itself was challenging, but the crew made sure everything else wasn't. We got a big tent comprised of 2 parts, one for eating and one for sleeping. We got hot water for drinking tea and washing our hands every evening and morning (it's super cold on the mountain, so it was very appreciated). Food was diverse, nutritious, and tasty. Everything was just great. Every evening and morning the guides checked our health to make sure we didn't get altitude sickness. Generally, the walking on the mountain was quite slow (pole pole), which was great as it was our first time at such a high altitude. I recommend the Kilimanjaro climb in general for everyone with good health, some prior training is advised. If you choose to do the climb I recommend Kisaza Tours, everything was really great, and the price was very good for what you get.

This was the trip of a lifetime for our group of 11. Every single person had a phenomenal experience thanks to Steve and his team. They are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and always enthusiastic to help. I would 100% recommend them to anyone.
