The 7 day Machame route, the trek from Barranco to Barafu is split up into two days, allowing for a short day just prior to the summit attempt. This is important because summit day begins very early, around midnight, so climbers are deprived going into the toughest day on the mountain. By having a short day beforehand, climbers can be better rested. The 7 days Machame route is highly recommended and is one of the most popular options on Mt Kilimanjaro.
