Question 1

How hard is the Machame Route Compared To The Lemosho Route, Umbwe Route, and Marangu Route?

Accepted Answer

The Whiskey route ranks fourth in difficulty, right after the Rongai route, Umbwe Route and Marangu route; while the Lemosho route ranks first overall. Though this is the case, the Machame route's gradual slopes make for great acclimatization opportunities. However, unlike the Marangu route, there are no sleeping huts on the Whiskey route but camping tents.

Question 2

How much does Kilimanjaro's Machame Route 6 Day itinerary cost?

Accepted Answer

The 6 Days Machame Route Itinerary costs $1,886pax for open group treks and $2,460 for standard group treks. Private group treks also cost anywhere from $2,460 and above depending on the operator.

Question 3

Are all registrations done at Kilimanjaro's headquarters?

Accepted Answer

Even though Mount Kilimanjaro's headquarters is established at the Marangu Gate, the Machame route has its own registration office. The only route that doesn't have its own registration office is the Umbwe route. Registrations for the Umbwe route happen at the Machame gate.

Question 4

Why do day trips end at the Mandara hut?

Accepted Answer

Kilimanjaro day trips end at the Mandara hut in order to avoid altitude sickness. A trip further up the mountain will also require more time to climb. To get to Kibo hut, you'll have to do a full 5 to 6 day trek. All Mount Kilimanjaro day trips happen on the Marangu route. They start and finish at the Marangu gate. It's worth knowing that the Marangu gate is the exit gate for the Rongai route and Marangu route, so expect heavy traffic at this station.
