Kilimanjaro
Five Different Routes
From $2,225.00
7 Days 6 Nights
Machame route, also known as the Whiskey route, has become very popular. This is the camping route which offers spectacular views of various landscapes such as Mt Meru, Pare Mountains, Lake Chala and Lake Jipe. While the 6 day itinerary is very possible, it is very benefitable to have the seven days machame climb because of having one more extra day for acclimatization and resting before the summit day. Doing this will maximize your chance of reaching the top.
From $1,924.00
6 Days 5 Nights
The Marangu Route is also known as the "Coca Cola" or "tourist" route. It is the easiest and shortest route to the summit. This is also the only route with the comforts of sleeping huts at every campsite with solar lights and comfortable beds.
From $2,565.00
8 Days 7 Nights
This route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west. It offers a chance to visit Shira Plateau and Shira Caldera. Lemosho Route crosses from Shira Ridge to Shira 2 Camp, in a pleasant hike. Climbers encounter low traffic until the route joins the Machame route. Afterward, Lemosho follows the same route as Machame Route through Lava Tower, Barranco, and Barafu, known as the southern circuit. The minimum days required for this route is 7 days, but eight days is recommended as it will give more chances to acclimatize and achieve the summit. Like Machame,this is a scenically spectacular and varied route. Lemosho is highly recommended and it has an abundance of wildlife such as elephants, buffaloes, elands, and lions which come over to forage during the dry season from Longido game-controlled areas.

The Umbwe route has a well-deserved reputation of being the most challenging route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Due to the fast ascent to high altitude, this route does not provide the necessary stages for acclimatization. Although the number of people on this trail is very low, the chances of success are also low. Umbwe is considered to be very difficult, taxing route - one that should only be attempted by strong hikers who are confident in their ability to acclimatize quickly to altitude.
