Machame Route, also known as the Whiskey route, has become very popular. This is camping route which offers spectacular views of various landscapes such as Mt Meru, Pare Mountains, Lake Chala and Lake Jipe. While the 6 day itinerary is very possible, it is very beneficial to have the seven days Machame climb because of having one more extra day for acclimatisation and resting before the summit day. Doing this will maximize your chance of reaching the top.

On this day, the trek up to the Barafu ridge campsite is tough because of altitude. The walk take few hours because of the short distance but is steep needing a slow pace to avoid fatique.
