The Roof of Africa

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

Guided ascents up Africa's highest peak, matched to your pace and experience. Every route below is a real, established path up the mountain — tell us which one fits and we'll take it from there.

Marangu Route

5–6 DaysModerate

The oldest and most established route, known for hut accommodation instead of tents — a common choice for first-time trekkers.

Machame Route

6–7 DaysChallenging

Nicknamed the "Whiskey Route" for its steeper pace — scenic and popular, with camping under open sky rather than huts.

Lemosho Route

7–8 DaysModerate–Challenging

A longer, more gradual route often associated with better acclimatization thanks to the extra days on the mountain.
