About this safari
Machame also named as Whiskey route is one of the most popular ones on Kilimanjaro, but in the same time considered a difficult route. We would recommend it to experienced climbers who have already been acclimatized and are physically fit. In case you are planning to climb in the rainy season (November, April, and May), the path can be eroded on Machame, which will make your hike even more difficult.

Trekking from Machame Gates to Machame Camp
Mount Kilimanjaro National Park • Mandara Hut
A guide and a mountain support crew will arrive at the hotel in the morning in order to meet you and hold a quick briefing, after which you will travel by vehicle to Kilimanjaro National Park’s entrance: Machame Gate (1,800 m). After the quick formality of acquiring climbing permits and registering with the search and rescue service, the group will start trekking up to Machame Camp (3,010 m). So we recommend you take not only spare clothes, but also your raincoats.
This will be your first day at this altitude, so it is strongly recommended that you heed the following instructions from this point on:
– Abstain from consuming alcohol and caffeine
– Drink over 4 liters of bottled water daily (little by little, frequently)
– Take a Diamox pill to help alleviate symptoms of altitude sickness. Most mountain climbers take Diamox in the morning, before they start their ascent, in order to reduce discomfort associated with altitude sickness.
