What you'll do

Embark on the Machame Route, famously known as the Whiskey Route. The 7-day trek version is one of the most popular routes. Praised for its challenging yet rewarding path, it boasts a high summit success rate due to its "trek high, sleeps low" acclimatization advantage. With steeper trails than the Marangu Route, it offers unparalleled scenic beauty, starting from the southwest and crossing the Shira Plateau. Perfect for those seeking a memorable Kilimanjaro adventure.

Follow up wasn’t very well done. Especially for before and after trip. Not sure how costs are distributed as significant amounts of tips are added
