ROUTES

SUB-HEADING

If you would like to hike Kilimanjaro but don’t have access to all the required gear, we can provide everything you will need to conquer this mountain.

​

We can provide tents, sleeping bags, mats, and even clothes to ensure your comfort day or night.

​

  • The Machame Route

    The Machame route is the most popular route due to its slower ascent which gives you plenty of time to acclimatize.

    It also provides some of the most spectacular views along your climb of Kilimanjaro.

    This route is typically completed in 6-7 days.

     

  • The Marange Route 
     

    The Marange route is one of the less traveled routes so you won’t have as many people with you on the hike. The advantage of this route is that you will have private or semi-private huts with beds, electricity, warm water, and bathrooms.

    This route is best for you if you want to have better accommodations along the way. It is a great hike as well for spotting multiple waterfalls and a small crater on the way to the top. This route is completed in 5-6 days.
     

  • The Lemosho Route 


    The Lemosho route is similar to the Machame route, but it typically takes one extra climbing day.

    This route can be completed in 7-10 days, depending on your desire.
     

  • The Rongai Route 
     

    The Rongai route is the best route offered during the rainy season, as it offers good shelter while climbing.

    Although Rongai can be used anytime in the year it is a great choice during peak season because it is often less well travelled than the more popular Machame route.

    Plan on 6-8 days to complete this route.
     

  • The Londrosi Route 
     

    The Londrosi route is wonderful for those who want to enjoy their time on the mountain leisurely.

    If you have trouble with altitude acclimatization or just want to soak up your time on this iconic mountain, this route is the best for you.

    It is on the western side of the mountain so that you will be hiking through drier terrain with amazing views of the mountains. Plan to spend 7-10 days on this route.
     

  • The Umbwe Route 
     

    The Umbwe route is the most difficult and is a good option for experienced climbers or for those who have already conquered this mountain on an easier route.

    The shortest and steepest route, Umbwe, is for those who have trained and have more experience climbing. It is typically completed in 6-7 days.
