The Machame route is also called the “Whiskey Route” the most popular climbing route up Kilimanjaro. The Machame route is not technically difficult. It is more strenuous with long walks on a daily basis. The trail is often steeper, and it involves many ups and downs, crossing a lot of valleys and ridges.
