7 Days Kilimanjaro Trekking Tour via Machame Route in 2025-2026 with Burigi Chato Safaris
The 7 days Kilimanjaro Trekking Tour via Machame Route in 2025-2026 also known as the "Whiskey" route, is the most popular and beautiful route to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro Machame’s draw is in its scenic beauty. However, the trail is considered difficult, steep and challenging, particularly due to its shorter itinerary. Therefore, this route is better suited for more adventurous folks or those with some high altitude, hiking or backpacking experience. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the south, begining with a short drive from Moshi to Machame Gate.

The path leads hikers through the rain forest to Shira Plateau. Here, many of Kilimanjaro’s routes converge. The climb begins in the lush rainforest and follows a path that offers occasional views of Mt Meru, Shira Ridge as well the main summit of Mt Kilimanjaro – Kibo. Then the route turns east and traverses underneath Kilimanjaro's Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Kosovo Camp.

The 7-days Kilimanjaro Trekking Tour via Machame route with overnight at Kosovo camp is highly recommended.
