The Machame Route, known as the whisky route of Mount Kilimanjaro, is more physically demanding than the Marangu one but there is less traffic and it is considered to be the most scenic route to the summit. The trek offers you an extra day to acclimatise to high altitude during your trek, increasing your chances of reaching Uhuru Peak. The overnights on Mount Kilimanjaro are spent camping in tents, which are carried and pitched by the accompanying porters.
