How difficult is it to climb Kilimanjaro via the Machame route?

If you are not used to high altitudes and not very fit, the Machame route can be quite challenging.

In this case, we recommend that you only consider the 7-day or 8-day Machame Route.

In this case, you will have plenty of opportunities for proper acclimatization. This will decrease the risk of getting altitude sickness and increase your summit success chance.
