Kilimanjaro Routes

As Tanzania specialists with years of know-how, we’ve discerned that particular paths provide the perfect fusion of excitement, scenic views, and a superior chance of reaching the top.

The 9-day trails allow for the right amount of time needed for proper acclimatization, enhancing your odds of summiting even further. They also steer clear of the overcrowded, over-promoted routes like the Marangu, Rongai, and Machame, providing a calm, leisurely ascent time (“pole pole” in Swahili) and more one-on-one adventure with our knowledgeable guides.

The path offers a chance to escape the countless groups, connect with our dedicated team, and take pleasure in the climb. The 9-day schedule granted here allows for supreme acclimatization, ultimately elevating your chances of achieving peak success.

9-Day Lemosho Northern Circuit Route

The Lemosho Northern Circuit route on Kilimanjaro offers a scenic and extended trek, ideal for those seeking a comprehensive and less crowded experience. Beginning in the lush Lemosho Glades, this route traverses diverse ecosystems and provides ample acclimatization time, enhancing summit success rates. As it winds around the northern side of the mountain, climbers enjoy breathtaking views of the Kenyan plains. The Lemosho Northern Circuit stands out for its combination of natural beauty and optimal acclimatization, making it a premier choice for adventurers.

9-Day Lemosho Barafu Route

A top go-to for climbers, this pathway takes off from the mountain’s western side, en route to the vast Shira Plateau. Our climb-high-sleep-low method duly aids in acclimatization, increasing the likelihood of reaching the summit, Uhuru Peak.

7-Day Machame Route
