We prefer the quieter, lesser travelled 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.

Lemosho route is considered to be easier and more beautiful than any other trail and it retains a real sense of unspoiled wilderness. We travel through forest and moorland from the west, crossing the caldera of Shira volcano and exploring the rock formations of the plateau.

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.
Marangu is the only route that has the luxury of sleeping huts along the way with evening meals taken in a communal dining area. There are even showers (cold) and some flush toilets, which to some are actually a bit of a luxury on the mountain.
Total trip duration is 8 days.
Umbwe Route:  The shortest route on the Mountain, the path can also be a very muddy experience, particularly if it has rained recently! It’s a steep and rough trail up to the first camp, Umbwe Cave. The route is offering a real sense of adventure for the intrepid climbers.
