Kilimanjaro Climbs
Ten itineraries across seven official routes up Africa's tallest peak — from the hut-based Marangu trail to the remote, high-success Northern Circuit. Every climb is led by certified local guides with full park, rescue and hut/camping fees included.
Choose your route
Marangu — 6 Days
The only Kilimanjaro route with hut accommodation rather than tents.
Machame — 6 Days
Kilimanjaro's most scenic and popular route, camping the whole way and crossing the dramatic Barranco Wall en route to Barafu Camp for the summit push.
Machame — 7 Days
The same much-loved Machame path with an extra night at Karanga Camp for deeper acclimatization — the version we recommend for most climbers wanting stronger summit odds.
Lemosho — 7 Days
A quieter, more scenic start through untouched forest on Kilimanjaro's western flank, joining the southern circuit for a gradual, high-success climb.
Lemosho — 8 Days
Our highest-success Kilimanjaro itinerary: the scenic Lemosho path with an added acclimatization night, giving your body the most time to adjust before summit night.
Rongai — 6 Days
Approaching from the drier, quieter northern side near the Kenyan border, Rongai offers a gentle, gradual ascent with fewer crowds and different scenery from the southern routes.
Rongai — 7 Days
The same peaceful northern approach with an extra acclimatization night at Mawenzi Tarn, boosting your summit odds while still avoiding the busier southern trails.
Shira — 7 Days
Lemosho's quieter, less-used sister route — starting higher via a rugged 4x4 track onto the Shira Plateau, then joining the same scenic southern circuit toward the summit.
Umbwe — 6 Days
Kilimanjaro's most direct and demanding path — a steep forested ridge straight to the Barranco Valley.
Northern Circuit — 9 Days
Kilimanjaro's newest and longest itinerary, circling the quiet northern slopes before joining the summit push — the most gradual ascent profile and the highest reported success rate on the mountain.
