Overview
The Machame route, also known as the Whisky Route is one of the most scenic and recommended routes on Kilimanjaro. This popular route with paths through magnificent forests to gain a ridge leading through the moorland zones to the Shira Plateau. It then traverses beneath the glaciated precipices of the Southern Ice fields to join the Barafu Route to the summit. Because it can be done over longer periods and the incline is more manageable it has a much higher success rate of summit.

The two of us booked a one day trip to Arusha National Park including game drive and walking tour with Adidas. The tour was a beautiful experience, and especially the walking tour was amazing because it is a totally different and unique way of doing safari. Lunch was provided and the portion was big. Unfortunately the start was delayed by 1.5hrs without letting us know. This was really unprofessional, especially because Adidas had our phone number and did not pick up the phone despite lots of tries on our side. We agreed (and confirmed multiple times!) on a compensation in form of a free airport transfer from Arusha. Sadly, he did not keep his promise and stepped back from his offer after the tour and communicated this to us via whatsapp. He argued that we had booked a safari with him even though we explicitly told him that we would only CONSIDER his safari offer. It is really unprofessional, disappointing and weak how Adidas twisted the situation towards his own good. Too bad - because it was such a nice day trip with him.…

I highly, highly recommend Adidas' Chief's tour company. As a solo traveller, I was looking for a safe and fun hiking environment. I got Adidas' contact through a trustworthy mountain guide working in Kenya, and, after a phone conservation, I decided to book my 7-day Machame route tour through his company. Still today, I am very happy with this decision! I felt well taken care off already prior to my departure and throughout the entire trip, and I could not have dreamed of a more personalised service. Adidas arranged my transport from Nairobi to Moshi, came to greet me when I arrived, made sure that I had all the correct equipment and that I reached home safely. He also organised a private tour to visit the Materuni waterfalls and a nice coffee farm prior to Kilimanjaro trip. I cannot stress enough how professional and kind his staff is, whether at the Kilele hotel or the porter crew. Bariki, Porteus, Twalibu and the rest of the group are all mountain heroes! A special mention goes to Deus, our guide, who was very competent and patient – someone we could rely on entirely. After discussion with him, we decided to finish the Machame route in 6 days, and we reached Uhuru peak in 6 hours. This would not have been possible without his support, or that of the crew! I am grateful for the human exchanges, and I will remember this trip for a lifetime. Asante Adidas and everyone!…

My sister and I did the climb up Mount Kilimanjaro with Chief Tours and cannot speak highly enough about this company! The whole team was incredible to work with from start to finish and made it possible for us to accomplish a lifelong dream. They were kind and patient and incredibly knowledgeable on the mountain. I would trust them to take great care of anyone and get them to the top of the mountain! The food was wonderful and the people in our crew were some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. I highly recommend this company if you are doing the climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.…

Me and my girlfriend used Chiefs tour when we arranged our trip to Tanzania. From start to end they were Amazing and helped us with everything. The trip to Kilimanjaro were really nice and both our tourguide (Washington) and his crew were great and the food was amazing as well! Afterwards we went on a 4 days safari tour and had an amzing time and saw alot of animals. We had a great vacation and we can thank Chiefs tours for that so we can really recommend Chiefs if you want to go to Tanzania. //Pontus & Michaela…

We had read so many Swedes who praised Chief´s Tours and we got a fantastic treat! The company really does everything, both for us guests and takes responsibility for its staff. The guides were incredibly talented which created complete security with us. It is important when meeting young people who are forced to interrupt the hike. I am 61 years old and had a great guide. Thank you ! All the porters were so nice and we appreciated talking to them when we had the energy. The same was true of safari. Our guide was so committed to seeing as many animals as possible. Highly recommend the company!…
