Machame 7 days Kilimanjaro climb
Description
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!
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience with Kili Footprints! We're beyond thrilled to hear that your journey was truly a trip of a lifetime. Jackson and the team take great pride in providing attentive and personalized service, so it's wonderful to know that the communication and care from the moment you booked to the summit were exactly what you hoped for. We're especially pleased to hear that you felt safe, supported, and engaged throughout your trek, and that the crew’s dedication helped make your adventure both comfortable and enriching. Congratulations on reaching the summit! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Jackson, Godwin, and the entire team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future! Regards Jackson
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure having you on the trek, and we're thrilled to hear that your experience exceeded your expectations. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every step of the journey is safe, enjoyable, and memorable, and it means the world to us that you felt that throughout the trek and safari. From the food to the camp setup, to the personal touches along the way, we always strive to create an experience that's both comfortable and immersive. I'm glad to know that we succeeded in making you feel supported and well taken care of. It was also fantastic to hear about your safari adventure, and I'm happy to know that you got to experience the magic of Tanzania's wildlife as well! Thanks again for trusting Kili Footprints with your adventure. We hope this is just the beginning of many more unforgettable journeys. Wishing you all the best, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon!(wedding anniversary 😁)

This was indeed a life changing experience. Jackson and his team were the best! My flight larrived at 1 am and Jackson was waiting patiently for me at the airport and made sure I checked in before leaving. The actual climb experience was great from daily health checks, knowledgeable guides who made sure we were hydrated and well fed for climb. I can say more and more but I 100% recommend Kili footprints as your host when doing Mount Kilimanjaro climb. Thank you Kili footprints
