Trip Overview
This 10-day expedition is meticulously designed for maximum safety and success. Starting in Arusha, the journey includes a dedicated acclimatization day in Arusha National Park before beginning the ascent at the Machame Gate. Often referred to as the "Whiskey Route," the Machame path offers spectacular views of the Shira Plateau and the Barranco Wall.

The journey concludes with a luxury stay at Lake Duluti Lodge to celebrate the achievement.
