Kilimanjaro Trails
Marangu Trail
Marangu route is a classic trek on Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the oldest, most well established route. Many favor the Marangu route because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope.
Machame Trail
Also known as the Whisky Route, this trail is both longer and slightly more challenging than the Marangu Route. Where accommodation on the Marangu route is in huts, the Machame route offers strictly tents only.
Lemosho Route
Lemosho route is traditionally one of the quieter and lesser-known routes on the mountain. Its also the newest and probably the most diverse in terms of the ecological systems and landscapes it passes through.

Shira Route is a little used trail that begins near Shira Ridge. It is nearly identical to the Lemosho route. In fact, Shira was the original route and Lemosho route. Is the improved variation.
Umbwe Route

Rongai Route
Rongai Route begins at the remote, northern side of Kilimanjaro near the Kenyan border. We hike through a true wilderness area towards the jagged Mawenzi Peak, then cross a barren desert saddle, before climbing up Kibo eastern crater wall.
Northern Circuit Route
Crater Camp is a unique place. At 18,865 feet above sea level, it is the highest campsite on Mount Kilimanjaro. It is located just 475 feet below the summit. We offer the opportunity to stay at Crater Camp on the Lemosho and Northern Circuit routes.
Western Breach Route
As its name suggests, the Western Breach is a gap, formed by lava flow, on the western outer rim of Mount Kilimanjaro main summit, Kibo. The Western Breach offers one of the shortest climbing routes to the summit.
