The adventure
Eleven days. One legendary climb and a beach waiting at the bottom. The Machame Route — nicknamed the Whiskey Route for good reason — earns its reputation through forest, moorland, and glaciated ice fields on the way to Uhuru Peak. Then Zanzibar steps in with white-sand beaches and ocean breezes to remind you that the best adventures always end well.
Arrive at any time.
Hike the lower slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro to Machame Camp.
Hike through lower alpine moorland to Shira 2 camp and observe the spectacular views of Kibo Peak.
Hike to Barranco Camp via Lava Tower. Enjoy the fantastic view of Western Breach and the Breach Wall.
View the Great Barranco Wall and climb up the eastern wall, passing below the Helm Glacier.
Hike during the night to the Summit via Stella Point. Watch the sunrise before descending to Mweka Camp.
Continue descent through the forested, lower slopes to Moshi. Meet the mamas of the Moshi Women’s Cooperative, a G supported project, for a climbing ceremony.
En route to Arusha, enjoy an included stop at the G Adventures-supported Moshi Women’s Cooperative. Pick up any last-minute supplies in Arusha.
After breakfast transfer to the airport in Arusha and board your flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival enjoy an orientation walk of Stone Town before going to Jambiani. Grab lunch on your own and then take advantage of free time to settle into island life. There are plenty of local restaurants in the area for you to have dinner at your leisure this evening.
Head out on an included spice tour to gain a sense of Zanzibar's history and the spice plantations that brought the beginnings of the slave trade here dating back to the 1840s. The remainder of the day is free for you to do as you please. Perhaps, pre-book the snorkelling to witness the underwater life here off of Tanzania's coastline, or head to the nearby Jozani Forest for a tour. You can also simply relax on the beach and swim. Dinner this evening is at your leisure.
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel in Jambiani before your included group transfer back to the airport outside of Stone Town. You should arrive at the Zanzibar airport by 11:30AM where your tour ends. Please do not book onward flights prior to 2:30PM.
