Climb Kilimanjaro
Route choice matters more than fitness. The longer profiles below acclimatise you properly, and we would rather talk you into one than sell you a short climb that fails.

The route we recommend most often. Eight days on Lemosho gives the best acclimatisation profile on the mountain and, with it, the highest chance of standing on Uhuru Peak.

The same scenic western approach as our eight-day Lemosho, compressed by one day. Still one of the strongest routes on the mountain if your dates are tight.

The Whiskey Route: steeper than Lemosho, busier, and widely considered the most scenic way up the mountain. Seven days gives it the acclimatisation it needs.

Machame without the Karanga rest day. It works, but it asks more of you, and we will say so if we think you should take the seven-day version instead.

The longest route on Kilimanjaro, circling the quiet northern slopes. More days on the mountain, more acclimatisation, and the highest summit success rate of any route.

The only route with huts rather than tents, and the only one you ascend and descend by the same path. Six days — with the acclimatisation day at Horombo — not five.

The only approach from the north, close to the Kenyan border. Drier than the southern routes, much quieter, and the best choice if you are climbing in the rainy months.

The steepest and most direct way up Kilimanjaro. Spectacular, very quiet, and unforgiving on acclimatisation. We only run it for trekkers with real high-altitude experience.
