The Roof of Africa
Climb Kilimanjaro
Stand at 5,895 meters above sea level. Join our expertly led expeditions with high summit success rates and ethical porter treatment.
World's Highest Free-Standing Mountain
A Journey of a Lifetime
Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb, but the altitude is the challenge. Choosing the right route for acclimatization is the key to success. We prioritize 7+ day treks to maximize your chances of reaching Uhuru Peak.
Best Success Rate
Lemosho Route
Our top recommendation. Lemosho approaches from the west, crossing the Shira Plateau. It offers stunning panoramic views and a longer acclimatization profile.
- Duration: 7-8 Days.
- Difficulty: Moderate to High.
- Highlights: Shira Plateau, Barranco Wall (scramble), Lava Tower.
- Crowds: Low traffic on the first few days.
Most Popular
Machame Route
Known as the "Whiskey Route". It joins the Lemosho route at Lava Tower/Barranco. It is steeper but very scenic.
- Duration: 6-7 Days (we recommend 7).
- Difficulty: High.
- Highlights: Shira Cave, Karanga Camp, Stella Point.
- Crowds: Can be busy in high season.
Hut Accommodation
Marangu Route
The "Coca-Cola Route". It is the only route with sleeping huts instead of tents. It has a reputation for being "easy" but actually has a lower success rate due to rapid ascent.
- Duration: 5-6 Days.
- Difficulty: Moderate (but poor acclimatization profile).
- Accommodation: Shared wooden huts.
- Best For: Those who absolutely cannot sleep in tents.
