7-Day Machame Route

Machame RouteMachame Route is an intermediate route offering some of the best scenery and views on the mountain, as well as an effective acclimatization routine that tenders an increased potential for a successful summit.

This is a popular route, known as the Whiskey Route, but is quieter on the whole than Marangu Route, and utilizes tented camp accommodation throughout.

MEM Tours Africa offers two 7-day versions of this route. The first follows the more commonly used trail via Barafu Camp to the summit, while second, far more challenging, accesses the summit via the Western Breach and Crater Camp.

Departures Tuesdays, Thursday & Saturday, with an additional safari itinerary available on request.

MEM Tours Africa offers several Machame Route Options, with longer or shorter versions depending on your preference.
