Choosing between the Machame and Lemosho Route depends on your preferred climb length and duration. While the Machame Route can be completed in 6 or 7 days, the Lemosho Route takes 7 or 8 days.
If you prefer a 6-day climb, go for the Machame Route. In general, however, we recommend you to climb for at least 7 days to better acclimatize to the high altitude and therefore increase your summit success chance.
If you climb for 7 days: Go for the Machame Route if you prefer shorter walking days, and for the Lemosho Route if you prefer lots of walking.
If your time permits: Go for the 8-day Lemosho Route to further improve your acclimatization to the high altitude.
If your budget permits, and you’re looking for the easiest hiking route with the least amount of walking per day and the highest summit success chance, then we’d recommend a tailor-made 8-day Machame Route climb.
