Kilimanjaro routes - which route to choose
Whether you are hiking for the first time or have climbed dozens of peaks, we have the best Kilimanjaro routes for you. For an unparalleled experience on Mount Kilimanjaro, choose the route that suits you best and maximize your comfort, enjoyment and chances of success. We accompany you every step of the way.
There are six main climbing routes on Kilimanjaro. We prefer the quieter, lesser traveled camping routes of Lemosho, Northern Circuit, and Rongai. We believe these are the best routes on Mount Kilimanjaro. Furthermore, we recommend taking longer duration variations of these routes as they will give you the highest chance in successfully summiting. However, we do offer climbs on all major routes on the mountain.
With the exception of the rainy season (November and March-May), we organize many group climbs every week throughout the year. The maximum capacity of group climbs is 12 people.
We’ve prepared a mix of well-paced and affordable group climbs across the most scenic and successful routes: Lemosho, Machame, Marangu, and Rongai. Whether you’re looking for a challenging adventure or a comfortable hut experience, there’s something for everyone.
