The seven-day Machame route is the preferred plan for this trail. With this route, the hike from Barranco to Barafu is split over two days, which allows for a shorter day right before the challenge of reaching the summit. This is crucial as the final ascent starts very early, about midnight, which can lead to climbers experiencing sleep deprivation during the most demanding day on the mountain. By having a shorter day before, it helps climbers to be better prepared and rested.
Most leading Kilimanjaro operators highly suggest the 7-day Machame route.
