The is a popular route and also the cheapest.  It is the only route that offers mountain huts instead of tents for the  overnight stays. The route leads straight up to the summit and down  again via the same route. 

 The ascent via the Marangu route takes a total of five days. However, you can add an extra day to give your body time to adjust to  the high altitude.  The extra day will increases your chances of reaching the summit. 

The route has a gradual ascend which gives your body more time to adjust  to the altitude. The trail circles around the mountain, offering up  spectacular views and a wide variety of landscapes. 

  Also known as the “Whiskey Route”, Mount Kilimanjaro’s Machame Route is one  the most popular climbing routes in Tanzania. 

Better yet, this route has  a fantastically high success rate to Uhuru Peak.   

 The price is definitely worth it! The Lemosho route gives climbers  plenty of time to acclimatize properly, the views are spectacular and  the success rates to reach the summit are high. 

This is one of the most  beautiful and complete routes to climb Kilimanjaro. 

 The Lemosho Route is a beautiful and unique route, known for its  breathtaking views. In contrary to other   routes, it starts on the western side of Kilimanjaro. 

  It is undoubtedly a more expensive route – it’s a long trail and  requires extra transport to the other side of the mountain. 

 It is the only route to the summit of  Kilimanjaro that begins on the northern part, near the Kenyan border.  It’s windier and drier on the northern side of the mountain. Therefore,  it has less vegetation here and you can often see far – overlooking the  beautiful Kenyan landscape.  

 Rongai route ascends Mt Kilimanjaro from the north-eastern side of the mountain, along the border between Tanzania and Kenya. The Rongai route retains a sense of unspoiled wilderness. This route is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the north. 

 The Shira route starts on the Western Site of the Kilimanjaro.  It is almost the same as the Lemosho route. But on the first day you  ascent to the 2nd camp of the Lemosho route. Only after that the two  routes correspond. 

 The Umbwe route is only suitable for climbers who have already been at a  comparable altitude and know how their body reacts to such an extreme  increase in altitude. Umbwe route is the shortest of all routes in terms of the distance.

 The hikes per day on the Northern Circuit route are relatively short.  This gives your body enough time to recover. In addition, the Northern  Circuit route is good for acclimatization, as it is a relatively long  climb (in days).  

The Northern Circuit route is the newest route to climb Kilimanjaro. The route is unique as you hike via the quiet, still rather unknown  northern side of the mountain. You will see Mount Kilimanjaro from a  whole new perspective!
