We will climb the beautiful Machame route. The Machame, also called “the whiskey route” is considered the most beautiful, and diverse route on the mountain. We have a 100% success rate on the mountain, and will take a slow, steady pace, known as ”pole, pole” in Swahili. We use the best porters, and local guides on the mountain. Our head Tanzanian guide has over 15 years experience on the mountain.
