We prefer the quieter, lesser traveled camping routes of Rongai, Lemosho and the newer Northern Circuit. We believe these are the best routes on Mount Kilimanjaro. However, we do offer climbs on all main routes on the mountain.

We recommend taking longer duration climbs such as the 8 days Lemosho or 9 days Northern Circuit as these routes will give you the highest chance in successfully summiting. In addition to the additional time spent acclimatizing, the added days shorten the daily hiking distances reserving more of your energy for the summit hike.

Our Route

Whether it is your first time climbing Kilimanjaro or whether you have climbed many other mountains, we have the best climbing route for you. We encourage you to select the route that best suits you- and make the most of your comfort and increase your chance of success to the top.

MARANGU ROUTE: Marangu 6 days route is the most popular ascending route and is a well-established route on Kilimanjaro and is perfect for those with no camping experience.
