The Ultimate Experience
7 Days Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climb
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro on the famous 7 Days Machame Route, Tanzania's most popular trekking trail. Known as the "Whiskey Route," this Kilimanjaro climb offers stunning scenery, excellent acclimatization, and a high summit success rate as you journey to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet).
Route summary
