The success rate is significantly higher when using the seven day route. The trek begins at Machame Gate, located in the southern base of mountain, which is just a short drive from Moshi or Arusha.
As you might expect, the lower slopes receive a quite a bit of precipitation. The trail may be steep and slippery, so trekking poles are advised. As the route heads toward the Shira Plateau, the trees disappear and are replaced by low brush in the heather zone. Then the route climbs high to the volcanic plug, Lava Tower, before dropping and circling below the South Icefield. This circular pathway from Barranco to Karanga to Barafu is known as the southern circuit.
The long, strenuous approach to the summit is made from the east through endless switchbacks up increasingly loose gravel until we reach the crater rim at a mark known as Stella Point. Then the route is relatively flat for another hour to Uhuru Peak — the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The quick descent follows the Mweka trail. It is designed for physically fit people with some hiking experience, but plenty of first time trekker use the route as well and do just fine. The table below depicts a variation of the 7 day Machame climb with starting and finishing points, altitude, distance and hiking time.
This is considered to be the ideal Machame route variation. The weather is perfect with clear days and warmer than in June and July. You may however see clouds blanketing the rain forest, moorland zone and the southern routes you may get rained on the first and second days. But once you leave the rain forest behind then all will be good. These good conditions last to mid October when the short rains starts. The weather on mt Kilimanjaro becomes unstable and the number of people climbing drops.
Their will be clouds and occasional thunderstorms. You should be equipped to with stand the occasional shower. This can present any major problems. November their is small rains to and the rain goes on to mid-December. The temperatures will drop and the rains may some time continue for 2 to 3 days. This is Not the best time to climb Kilimanjaro. The 4 to 6 weeks around Christmas and New Year are the second peak climbing season on climbing Kilimanjaro.
Traffic is very high despite there still being a small chance of rainfall and thick clouds at the lower regions. This is not the time I would choose.
You may decide to climb any time, be it because you may want to avoid the population or because that is the only time off from work. In that case take the Rongai Route. Its is much drier than the other mount Kilimanjaro routes. And if you want the best weather on Kilimanjaro but less people choose the Rongai , Shira and Lemosho than on the overcrowded Machame route and Marangu route.

The truth is that each of these figures are statistically impossible! Do not believe these claims! Unless these outfitters are prescreening climbers, taking a very small number of climbers less than 30 per year, or leading climbs only on day routes, achieving those extraordinarily high success rates would be impossible to maintain for even a short period of time.
Every outfitter knows this, but unfortunately it seems some don't mind attracting customers with misleading or blatantly false statements. We are very happy that our real success rates are considerably greater that those reported by Kilimanjaro National Park. Client feedback regularly cites our guides and their support as the main reason they were able to summit.
We have a consistent record of achieving high success rates year after year, and would gladly put our success rates up against the actual success rates of our strongest competitors. Our primary concern is that you have a safe, enjoyable, memorable Kilimanjaro climb. It is possible to climb the mountain in five or six days, but why take the chance? Some clients want to minimize their days in order to save costs, which is understandable.
But we feel that the additional cost is well worth it. Not only is it safer, but you increase the probability of your success, have more time to enjoy the experience, can take acclimatization hikes to other parts of the mountain you'd otherwise miss, and will probably feel better as well, given that there is less stress on your body.
Ask yourself this. How would you feel if you scheduled a route with the minimum required days, only to have to turn around within the first couple days because the rate of ascent was too quick?
