Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek

Overview

The majestic summit of Mount Kilimanjaro soars to an impressive 5895 meters (19,341 feet), proudly claiming its position as the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest standalone mountain in the world! Nestled in the vibrant Moshi region of northern Tanzania, it’s only an hour’s drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and a 2-hour drive from the bustling safari transit town of Arusha. The sight of Mount Kilimanjaro is truly magnificent and awe-inspiring!

There are 5 routes to reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro: Lemosho, Machame, Marangu, Rongai, Shira, and Northern Circuit. Our priority is ensuring our guests have the best experience and reach the summit successfully. Based on our expertise, we recommend the Machame, Lemosho, and Northern Circuit routes, as they have high summit success rates.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure and exceptional personalized service as you embark on the journey of a lifetime to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro!

Popular Routes

Kilimanjaro Trek, Machame Route – 8 days

This is our second favourite route to Uhuru Peak (after the Lemosho route) because of its excellent acclimatization as you “walk high, sleep low”. The route offers stunning scenery with different vegetation zones along the trek. Machame is known for having one of the best success rates.

The Machame route, also called the “Whiskey” route, is known for being more challenging and complex compared to other routes. The steep and demanding trail makes it better suited for adventurous climbers.

This trek package includes seven nights on the mountain, one before the trek and the final night after.

Kilimanjaro Trek, Lemosho Route – 10 Days

The Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, offering panoramic views on various mountainsides. It is our favourite route due to its ideal balance of beautiful scenery, a high summit success rate, and low traffic. 

This package includes seven nights on the mountain, one before the trek and the final night after. Lemosho is the longest route after the Northern Circuit Route, so it’s slightly more expensive, but the experience is worth it.
