October 30, 2024 10 min read Conservation Trips Team

The Machame Route — known as the 'Whiskey Route' — is Africa's most scenic Kilimanjaro trail. We share what to expect, how to train, and why this is the best route for most climbers aiming for Uhuru Peak.

Planning the perfect Uganda safari requires insider knowledge. As East Africa's premier safari operator since 2008, Conservation Trips and Adventures has guided thousands of travellers through Uganda's extraordinary national parks and wilderness areas.

Uganda — the Pearl of Africa — is home to half the world's remaining mountain gorillas, the chimpanzee capital of the world at Kibale Forest, and over 1,000 bird species. The country offers a diversity of wildlife experiences that few destinations can match.
