Machame Camp

Karibu! The Machame Route, also known as the Whisky Route, is our absolute favourite route for climbing Kilimanjaro. Do you want to know why? In August 2022, my Bookatrekking.com colleague Rintsje and I used this exact route to make it to Uhuru Peak. We still regularly think of highlights like the Shira Plateau, the Lava Tower, the Barranco Wall, and Barafu Camp. In this blog post we do our show and tell. All the action at the park gate, the little cheeky monkeys in the forest, the early excitement at Machame Camp, the altitude that’s kicking in, and of course Uhuru Peak vibes. I wish we could go back. And we sometimes do, when we watch the below video with the team, with Team Kili. Let’s go!
