We did the Machame Route in 6 days. I felt very well but my husband had Altitude sickness so I would recommend at least 7 days for a better acclimatation.
The road was beautiful and very diversified every day. The submit day was breathtaking. We should have taken energy drinks and bar as the days are long. We were not cold but we had good equipments, especially for reaching the top (ski gloves, pants and jackets).
The team was very friendly and food very good. Our camelback was great because it helps you to drink much more often than with a bottle. And you need to drink a lot to avoid Altitude sickness. We had no shower during our entire route so don't forget your lingettes.
The experience was great, we definitely recommend people to climb it, but be prepared and train before, it's a real effort. If you can, do another lower submit before like Mt Meru.
