Experience the sunrise over Mawenzi before pushing to the summit of Uhuru Peak (5895m)
Be captivated by panoramic viewpoints and incredible scenery while trekking

It is also a natural focus for any fit trekker keen to summit the highest peak in Africa. While the ascent does not require any technical climbing, the trails are demanding and a sound level of fitness and an ability to acclimatise are essential prerequisites before attempting the summit. 

The Machame Route is well known as the “Whiskey Route” and one of the most popular trails on Mount Kilimanjaro, fondly known as Kili. It is reported that around 50% of trekkers use this route to ascend to the highest point in Africa and for good reason.

Mount Meru is often seen solely as an acclimatization ascent before attempting Kilimanjaro. However, most trekkers come away exhilarated by the experience of climbing a steep ridge line to a crater rim that rivals Kilimanjaro.
