Where you will climb
One summit. Four ways up.
Every Kilimanjaro climb ends at Uhuru Peak. The route shapes the scenery, the pace and how well you acclimatise.
Uhuru Peak
The 5,895 metre summit of Kilimanjaro and the highest point in Africa.
Marangu route
The classic route, with hut accommodation all the way up.
Machame route
A scenic climb with varied landscapes and good acclimatisation.
Rongai route
A quieter approach from the north, close to the Kenyan border.
Lemosho route
A longer, remote route across the Shira Plateau.
Choose the length of your climb.
More days on the mountain means better acclimatisation and a better chance of reaching the summit.
Up to 6 days
Up to six days
