Drive from your hotel to the Machame route 1800, typically known as the “Whiskey Route”. From Machame gate you begin a mild climb up through the initial natural elevation forest, carpeted with distinctive -busy lizzie- flowers, begonias and ferns. The hike goes through the enormous heather to Machame hut 3000m that takes five to six hours.
