Beginners should not consider shorter itineraries to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Years of industry practice revealed that the climbers need more days to acclimate successfully. Typically, an average hiker without previous hiking experience in the mountains requires seven days for this trip to acclimate successfully.
Note: In this article, the numbers for the duration of the Kilimanjaro trek include two days for descent, not counted towards acclimatization. For example, in a seven-day trek, hikers summit on the night of the fifth day. Then they spend the sixth day descending and exit the park on the seventh. So there are only five days spent for acclimatization.
Machame 7-day trek is one of our most recommended itineraries. You will hike through a picturesque tropical forest in the Kilimanjaro National Park
