Acclimatization on Kilimanjaro, 7, 8 and 9-day climbing programs are recommended because of the altitude adaptation zone concept.

The concept of acclimatization zone refers to a certain altitude span, where a climber does not feel the symptoms of altitude mountain sickness.

To illustrate, for many people the first acclimatization zone is 3000 m/9842 f - 3800 m/ 12467 f. That means that having reached the lower point, and spending some time there, a person will be comfortable staying within this range. In order to ascend higher, however, this person needs to spend a night at 3700 m/12139 f in order to widen this span.

During your Tanzania trekking holiday it is most effective to spend an additional night at an intermediate altitude (3400m-4700m). This is high enough to stimulate the necessary physiological changes of acclimatization for Kilimanjaro, without overstressing the body, avoid fatique. Light walks and drinking plenty during acclimatization day is recommended.
