However, other than the adventure challenge, Machame route has the great success of summit to most of the climbers and it being a challenging and adventure route does not mean that it is technical to mountaineers only; rather it is for any climbers both experienced and non-ones. 7 days climb via the Machame route you will have an extra day for acclimatization not to be affected by the high-altitude changes.
