  • M

    Morgan

    Asked on February 10th, 2026

    Looking at your brochure for Kilimanjaro Machame Route 8 Day- I am not sure about the details as the opening paragraph says: This makes the Machame, which is referred to as the "Whiskey Route," better suited to more adventurous hikers, and it also rewards you with better views than the Machame Route."

    Tour Details
    • Tanzania Wildlife AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2026

      You are absolutely right to notice this sentence. It appears to be a small wording error in the introduction. The Machame Route is indeed known as the "Whiskey Route" and is well known for being more scenic and slightly more challenging compared to other routes such as Marangu. However, the sentence mistakenly compares the Machame Route to itself. What we intended to explain is that the Machame Route offers more beautiful scenery and a better acclimatization profile than many other routes, which is why it is highly recommended and one of the most successful routes for reaching the summit. We will correct this in our brochure.
