Kilimanjaro
8 DAYS LEMOSHO ROUTE
From $2,430 USD (guide-listed)
The 8-days Lemosho route is the best choice for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro because it allows plenty of time for your body to adjust to the altitude, which helps you succeed at the summit. The hike from Barranco to Barafu is broken into two days, giving you a rest day before the final push to the top. This is really important since summit day begins at midnight, and you’ll need your energy for the toughest part of the climb. With a shorter day leading up to it, you’ll feel more rested and ready to tackle the challenge. INCLUDES ✓All taxes paid by the government, including 18% VAT Transfer to Moshi or Arusha from Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) ✓Transfers to and from the entry gate of Kilimanjaro ✓English-speaking, qualified, and experienced guides ✓Pay for cooks, porters, and guides ✓Every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) on the mountain ✓Water that has been filtered throughout the hike ✓Mountain equipment and gear – tents, Sleeping Mats, mess tent, table and chairs EXCLUDES ✓Insuarance ✓Tips for the Team ✓Personal Expenses ✓Personal Gear ✓Private Toilet ✓Visa Fee ✓Pre and Post Accomodations
7 DAYS RONGAI
From $1,980 USD (guide-listed)
The Rongai route is unique as it starts on the northern slope of Kilimanjaro, an area that sees fewer hikers but is just as captivating as the more popular southern and western routes. We recommend Rongai for those who enjoy a more secluded hiking experience. This route also stands out as the only one that passes by Mawenzi, one of Kilimanjaro’s three volcanic cones and the third-highest peak in Africa. On the return journey, you’ll descend via Marangu, allowing you to experience both sides of the mountain. While six- and seven-day itineraries are available, opting for a longer program is advisable for improved acclimatization and a smoother transition to higher altitudes. INCLUDES ✓All taxes paid by the government, including 18% VAT ✓Transfer to Moshi or Arusha from Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) ✓Transfers to and from the entry gate of Kilimanjaro ✓English-speaking, qualified, and experienced guides ✓Payment for cooks, porters, and guides ✓Every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) on the mountain ✓Water that has been filtered throughout the hike ✓Mountain equipment and gear – tents, Sleeping Mats, mess tent, table and chairs EXCLUDES ✓Insuarance ✓Tips for the Team ✓Personal Expenses ✓Personal Gear ✓Private Toilet ✓Visa Fee ✓Pre and Post Accomodations
5 DAYS MARANGU ROUTE
From $1,620 USD (guide-listed)
On the Marangu Route, climbers can choose a 5-day itinerary, which offers a straightforward path to the summit. Starting at Marangu Gate, this route takes you through diverse climate zones, including lush tropical rainforests, heath, moorland, and finally to the icy landscapes near the summit. The trail is well-marked and features hut accommodations for overnight stays, making it unique among the Kilimanjaro routes. While the 5-day plan allows climbers to reach Uhuru Peak, it offers less time for acclimatization, which can affect the chances of success. The Marangu Route is popular because it’s the most accessible and cost-effective option, making it suitable for hiking even during the rainy season. Due to its popularity, this route can become crowded, particularly during peak months from July to September and December to March. Although many climbers successfully reach the summit on the 5-day itinerary, those who opt for the 6-day option typically enjoy a higher success rate, as the extra day allows for better acclimatization and reduces the risk of altitude sickness. INCLUDES ✓All taxes paid by the government, including 18% VAT Transfer to Moshi or Arusha from Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) ✓Transfers to and from the entry gate of Kilimanjaro ✓English-speaking, qualified, and experienced guides ✓Pay for cooks, porters, and guides ✓Every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) on the mountain ✓Water that has been filtered throughout the hike EXCLUDES ✓Insuarance ✓Tips for the Team ✓Personal Expenses ✓Personal Gear ✓Visa Fee ✓Pre and Post Accomodations
