A typical climber who opts to climb Mount Kilimanjaro takes a period of 5 to 9 days depending on the route and the acclimatization program. The more the routes are long, the better the success rates since climbers get to adapt to the altitude. Most of the common climbs such as Machame and Lemosho frequently require 6-8 days.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro usually takes about 5 to 9 days, depending on the route you choose and your pace. Some shorter routes can be done in 5 to 6 days, but longer ones like the Lemosho or Machame routes take around 7–9 days and give your body more time to acclimatize, which increases your chances of reaching the summit safely.
