Machame Route Kilimanjaro Trek – 7 dagen naar Afrika’s hoogste piek.





Beschrijving
Machame Route of de "whiskyroute" is een van de meest populaire routes vanwege de schilderachtige uitzichten en gevarieerde landschappen. Klimmen via de Machame-route is echter een beetje moeilijk in vergelijking met de Marangu-route. Ook al is de wandeling op de Machame-route steiler en langer, toch is het slagingspercentage hoger dan op de Marangu-route. Machame Route is technisch niet moeilijk, maar de klim is vermoeiender omdat het veel ups en downs heeft over een keten van valleien en bergkammen. Daarom is de route het meest geschikt voor mensen met enige wandel- of trekervaring en voor mensen die van avontuur houden. Voor beginnende klimmers kan de route vermoeiend zijn. Machame Route begint vanuit het zuiden, richting het oosten, navigerend onder de zuidelijke ijsvelden voorafgaand aan de top. Gewoonlijk is het minimum aantal dagen om via deze route de Kilimanjaro te beklimmen zes, maar zeven dagen wordt aanbevolen.

Words really can’t describe what an experience I had with kisaza tours on this magical journey. From start to finish everything was dealt with professionally and in a friendly manner. Steven our first point of contact for booking and arrangements was more than helpful in anyway possible. After finally meeting him in moshi i can assure you he is one of the most genuine and kind hearted people you will ever meet, please find the time to talk to him and discover his life story and the great things this guy is doing for others in this world of ours, he truly deserves every booking possible to continue his dreams of helping other an I for one will be shouting from the roof tops how much they deserve it. (Keep doing what your doing Steven, the world needs more People like you helping others). On our climb to the roof of Africa the crew that kisaza put together for us were just second to none. They were there every step of the way to encourage and support us in any way they could, and always with a big smile and warm hearts. The energy these guys had from start to finish was something I’ve never experienced before, an energy that never faded or failed to pick us up. We always knew when we were approaching our camp as no other tour company we passed had that positive vibe flooding out from it as we passed. They were always happily chatting and singing, we did joke about having the noisiest crew on the mountain but if it wasn’t for them our trip would have been something completely different. Thanks guys, keep that energy going. Our guides were 100% perfect at doing their jobs. They knew everything about the mountain and paced us exactly how they needed to get us through every day with the energy left to hit the summit for the perfect sunrise experience. Thanks M.J. And azikio we couldn’t have done it without you. In short forget the bigger names on the mountain that everyone uses, I walked through Their camps and every time thought to myself I’m so glad I didn’t use them and went with kisaza. The energy and happiness in our camp made it home from home. Please give them the opportunity to do the same for you, you won’t regret it!

Steven, MJ, Azikio, and the entire crew send their warm regards. Your support means the world to us — we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
A very good experience. All the porters and guides were so helpful and great fun. Couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of people.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are very pleased to know that our team helped make your climb both enjoyable and memorable. Your kind feedback is truly appreciated by everyone at Kisaza Tours.
Great experience with kisaza, it was very well organised we all summited Kilimanjaro great team of porters and guides.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience on the Machame Route and that the organization, guides, and porters met your expectations. Congratulations to you all on reaching the summit!
KISAZA Tours gave us an absolutely incredible experience guiding us up Kilimanjaro. The attitude of the guides and crew was outstanding; everyone was genuinely kind, supportive, and encouraging throughout the entire climb. While the trek was definitely challenging, I always felt safe and expertly guided, which made a huge difference. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I couldn’t recommend KISAZA Tours more highly.
We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with KISAZA Tours. It was a pleasure guiding you on Kilimanjaro, and your trust and recommendation mean a great deal to our entire team.
Very professional and experienced guides. The company is locally owned and operated. We did the 7 day route and they got us up and down safely. Affordable
Thank you for your great feedback! We're glad you felt safe and well-guided on the 7-day route. It was a pleasure having you with us—Asante sana for supporting a local company!
Thank you Kisaza team for the unforgetable experiance! I never experianced such a good service from day one to the last day. Stephen was fast replying and sharing his experiance giving proactive solution to all the doubts we had. A leader which held every worth, having de taxi ready in the airport at 04.00 and beeing picked up at 03.00 in order to fly out. Michael and Francis were out heroes, the experiance in the mountain how to reach the summit. Both were very helpfull, patient and funny which is the perfect mix for a 6 days hike. Louis the cook prepared delicious meals every day, in our case two, veggie and one with meat. There was more then enough food for both of us! The team with Dave as our most visible person was out angel. The first who was wake up to bring us the tea in out tent and the fastet packing the tents, carry them to the next place and build them up before we arrived. Conclusion, I would only chose them for a hike to the Kili or to the everest. Thank you all Again and wish you the best. Asante!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re incredibly grateful you chose Kisaza Tours and are thrilled to hear your experience was unforgettable from start to finish. It was our absolute pleasure to support you—from the first message to the final airport drop-off. Stephen, Michael, Francis, Louis, David, and the whole team truly appreciate your kind words. We’re so happy you felt well-fed, well-guided, and well cared for throughout the journey. Your trust means everything to us, and we’d be honored to welcome you back for your next adventure—whether to Kilimanjaro or Everest! Asante sana and all the best from the Kisaza family!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience climbing Kilimanjaro! Choosing Kisaza Adventures for our 6-day Machame Route trek was the best decision—we felt supported, safe, and incredibly well taken care of. A big highlight was the food! Cooking in the mountains is not easy, but Louis, our chef, worked magic. Every meal felt like dining in a restaurant, and he was incredibly attentive to my dietary restrictions (vegetarian and food intolerances), which made a huge difference. Our guides, Michael and Francis, were phenomenal. They knew exactly when to push, when to encourage, and when to slow down, ensuring we had the best chance of reaching Uhuru Peak in good health and spirits. Their expertise and motivation were invaluable. And then there was David, the true morning hero! Waking up in a tent is not easy, but when someone greets you with a warm smile and coffee or tea in bed, the day already starts perfectly! This climb was not just about reaching the summit; it was about the people who made it happen. The entire Kisaza team worked together flawlessly, creating an experience that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a professional yet personal trek to the top of Africa!

We’re honored to have shared this journey with you and look forward to welcoming you back to Tanzania one day. Asante sana and congratulations again on your incredible achievement!
The organization and operation of the tour by Kisaza was absolutely amazing and left nothing to be desired! From the included airport pickup two days before the start to the drop off at the complementary hotel after the 7 day tour, everything went as smoothly as it possibly could have. Steven even came to the hotel just to greet us the night we arrived, followed by a professional briefing and checking of the equipment the next day together with our two guides. During the tour, the whole team was super friendly, professional, and helpful. Every time we arrived to a new camp, the tent was already up and shortly after, we were served an always delicious and fresh meal. When we were just hanging out and relaxing after the day‘s hike, the team also regularly offered snacks such as popcorn as well as tea/coffee, which we considered very thoughtful! Every night after dinner, our two guides checked on us and our wellbeing and gave a briefing on the next day. They planned everything according to our preferences and pace, which was especially great on the summit day (or rather night), where we arrived perfectly for sunrise at Uhuru Peak. As this surely was not the case for many other people summiting, this can be considered one of the most outstanding perks of going with Kisaza! We were overall more than satisfied with Kisaza and couldn’t recommend the company more! There wasn’t a single thing we could have complained about and the price is an absolute steal compared to many other companies, especially considering the outstanding performance of the whole team. We also climbed Mount Meru with Kisaza last year by the way, which was just as perfect as the Kilimanjaro tour this time. So all in all, there is absolutely no reason to hesitate to book your tour with Kisaza!
Thank you so much for your incredible words! We’re beyond thrilled to hear that your Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru adventures with Kisaza Tours were unforgettable. It was an honor to be part of your journey—from warm welcomes to sunrise summit moments! Your trust means the world to us, and we can't wait to take you on your next epic adventure. Asante sana and keep the spirit of adventure alive!
So my husband and I decided that Kilimanjaro would be a great adventure for his 49+1 birthday... Kisaza was from the start professional and attentive in their communication. Then on the trek, we couldn't have had a better team. Ezekiel and Michael, our guides, prepared us for the next day's hike and weather. We took the Machame route and did not summit, and also decided 15703 feet was enough to see that altitude sickness is real! I'd strongly recommend getting a toilet! The cook Lusekelo made some amazing vegetarian food.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Kisaza Tours. It was a pleasure to work with you both, and we're glad our team, including Ezekiel, Michael, and Lusekelo, helped make your adventure special. We appreciate your recommendations and hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another unforgettable experience in the future. Safe travels and happy birthday to your husband once again!
Went on safari with Kisaza (5 days) and climed the Kilimanjaro with Kisaza (8 days). Both tours were arranged perfectly. Seen the big 5, stayed at nice accomodations, reached Uhuru Peak and had the best experience of our life! The contact beforehand with Steven was very pleasant: very quick and clear communication via whatsapp. Send him a message and he will reply within one hour, but probably even faster! The food that our cook made for us at the Kilimanjaro was delicious and the whole crew of 11 people (private tour) was great! They treated us like king and queen (or as babies, that's how they called it). If we would go again, no single doubt that we will do it via Kisaza again. Very much recommended!
Thanks very much Joost for taking time to review Kisaza Tours.
