Machame Route - Good acclimatisation, Scenic views and kind to beginners Classically referred to as the Whiskey Route, Machame is arguably the most popular route on Mt Kilimanjaro. The daily treks are longer than most other routes and steeper so we always recommend this route for more adventurous trekkers with a good level of fitness. 7 Day route is always recommended to most trekkers to improve acclimatisation and make it more friendly for beginners.
