Also known as “The Whiskey Route,” Machame is one of the more scenic routes on the mountain. It is a popular route among climbers due to its high summit success rate. Allowing you to “climb high, sleep low”, this route gives your body enough time to adjust to the changes in altitude over several days.
Machame offers only tented accommodation and begins at the Machame Gate at the southern base of the mountain, with the approach to the summit made from the east. You will also descend the mountain via a different route, finishing your climb at Mweka Gate.
Climbs can take six or seven days; however, we would always advise choosing the longer route for the best chance of acclimatization and reaching the summit.

Thanks for the nice time on the mountain in for the successful summit. Summit night was challenging, but thanks to guides we succeeded to reach the peak just in time for sunrise.
Overall, trip was well organized and guides were knowlegable.
Thank you, Jackson for the postcards, highly appreciate your favour!

This was truly a trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t have asked for a better company to do it with. Jackson was prompt with his replies to us when we were discussing booking. From airport pickup to trekking Kilimanjaro and cruising through the safari, that service continued. Jackson and his crew at Kilimanjaro Footprints were welcoming and engaged. They checked our gear the day before our six-day hiking package to ensure our safety and comfort in the mountain. Questions were encouraged on the trek up Kilimanjaro and we learned a lot about the mountain, the flora and the fauna. The porters were friendly and efficient, having our campsites setup by the time we arrived, making it easy for us to enjoy the beauty around us. Safety was a focus along the route with simple reminders about watching footing, being aware of our surroundings, and frequent check-ins about how we were feeling. This support helped us achieve our goal of reaching the summit thank you, Jackson, Godwin and the entire crew at Kili Footprints!

I did a 6 day trek up Kilimanjaro with Jackson (Kili Footprints) and his team and it was an amazing experience! The guides were personable, knowledgeable, fun, accommodating, but most importantly, they made me feel safe and in good hands. The rest of the support crew were awesome as well, and we couldn't have done it without them! The food was delicious, so good that at times you forget you are trekking a mountain, and our camp setup was comfortable and safe. You can tell that Jackson puts a lot of thought and care into the trips that he plans and it is reflected in the level of service he provides. I followed this trek with a 4 day safari, and again, he did not disappoint. From the accommodations, to our safari tour guide, everything was meticulously planned and executed. We enjoyed visiting 3 different parks, and were so excited to see "the big five". Thank you, Jackson, for this trip of a lifetime, you truly exceeded my expectations and I will be forever grateful.
