8 days Machame Route Tour Overview
The schedule for the 8 Days Kilimanjaro climbing Machame route on Kilimanjaro can be found here. Normally, seven days are required to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro via Machame. The climber is exposed to higher elevations more quickly on the Machame route on day three, which starts the body's adaptation to altitude. However, in order to tackle the difficult elevation changes and losses on this route, one must be in good physical condition. The best schedule for this route is the 7-days Machame variation.
