Why Choose a Kilimanjaro Hiking Tour?
Mount Kilimanjaro isn’t just the highest mountain in Africa; it’s also the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, and one of the few summits you can reach without technical climbing gear.
Every hiking route has its own character, scenery, and level of challenge. Choosing the right route is key to your success and comfort.
Popular Kilimanjaro Hiking Routes

Perfect for trekkers seeking a balanced blend of stunning landscapes and excellent acclimatisation. The Lemosho Route offers panoramic views and boasts a high success rate, making it one of our most highly recommended routes.
2. Machame Route – The Most Popular Adventure
Known as the “Whiskey Route”, Machame is ideal for adventurous hikers who enjoy diverse terrain and stunning scenery. It’s a seven-day trek that offers both challenge and reward, ending with a sunrise summit at Uhuru Peak.
3. Marangu Route – The Classic Path
Also called the “Coca-Cola Route”, Marangu is the only route with hut accommodations instead of tents. It’s a comfortable option for those who prefer structured overnight stays while still enjoying the beauty of Kilimanjaro.

For trekkers looking for unique routes with fewer crowds, both the Shira and Rongai Routes provide an adventurous climb with scenic wilderness and serene campsites.
