The Machame route, also known as the Whisky Route is one of the most scenic and recommended routes on Kilimanjaro. \u00a0This popular route with paths through magnificent forests to gain a ridge leading through the moorland zones to the Shira Plateau. It then traverses beneath the glaciated precipices of the Southern Ice fields to join the Barafu Route to the summit. Because it can be done over longer periods and the incline is more manageable it has a much higher success rate of summit<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      An exciting day as our adventure begins. After breakfast we transfer 1 hour from Moshi to the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. We pass the village of Machame on the lowers slopes of the mountain. After completing the necessary registration we set out on the first stage of the trek. The trail winds through rainforest and could be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue trekking until we reach Machame Camp.<\/p>\n

      Today is the first of our acclimatization treks. From the Shira Plateau we continue trekking up a ridge on semi-desert terrain, passing the junction which leads to the peak of Kibo. En-route we pass a lava tower, known as the “Shark’s Tooth\u201d and the impressive Arrow Glacier which stands at an altitude of 4876m. We continue down to the Barranco Hut at an altitude of 3962m. Here we rest, enjoy dinner and overnight. Although we end the day around the same altitude as when we started, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day.<\/p>\n

      We set off from Karanga past the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail. From there we continue climbing through alpine desert to Barafu Hut. It can be slow-going and cold due to the high altitude. On arrival at Barafu, we have completed the South Circuit, which offers magnificent views of the summit from many different angles. In the distance the horizon is punctuated by the magnificent peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. The afternoon is free to rest ready for tonight\u2019s ascent to the summit.<\/p>\n

      Our final ascent is at night with head torches at the ready. We set off between midnight and 2.00am and follow a slow zigzagging climb to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. We then continue through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging section of the whole trek. At Stella Point (5669m) we stop for a short rest and (weather permitting) will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see. From Stella Point, we may encounter snow on the remaining one hour ascent to the summit. At Uhuru Peak (5895m), we have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa \u2013 an incredible achievement! (Faster trekkers may see the sunrise from the summit). We then start our descent to Mweka Hut campsite, stopping at Barafu for lunch. Mweka Camp is situated in the upper forest and mist or rain can be expected. This evening we enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.<\/p>\n
