MT. KILIMANJARO EXPEDITION ROUTES

What you need to know

Also called the Roof of Africa Mount Kilimanjaro is both Africa’s highest mountain and the world’s tallest free-standing peak. Standing at 5,875 metres above sea level, Kilimanjaro is also unique as it is located just 330km from the equator. The Mountain consists of three volcanic summits. Shira (3,962 m) the oldest of the three summits is already extinct. Mawenzi (5,149 m) and the youngest Kibo (5,895 m) are dormant and could erupt again.

 January, February and September are the best times to climb when the weather is warmer, the skies are clearer, and the threat of rain are always less. Then from June, July, and August are also fine weather-wise, although they tend to be so cold.
March through early June and November/December are always rainy seasons and tend to be tougher times to attempt the climb, although it is still possible if well prepared.
You could also try to climb when the moon is on because the nights are brighter and improve visibility and the moon hanging overhead makes for a beautiful moment when you are standing at the rooftop of Africa. 

Mt Kilimanjaro has quite a number of routes leading to its rooftop and these are:
Marangu, Rongai, Machame, Lemosho, Shira, Umbwe and a Northern Circuit Route.

You can choose whether to climb alone, join an existing climb, or bring a group of your own.

In the safest means possible, our experienced guides will ensure a smooth climb to the rooftop of Africa.
The guides have vast knowledge on the different routes and the climate conditions that affects each, this allows them to make better predictions. We ensure all of our guides are 100% physically and mentally prepared so that they can react quickly to counter potentially dangerous situations or to assist climbers. In addition to all of this, we use only the best professional quality mountain climbing equipment and we provide you with information prior the climb and will make sure your health is well catered for as you ascend.
