how to choose the best route

Each Kilimanjaro route has it's own pros and cons. Some are great for scenery, but not so great for acclimatisation. Others offer high summit success rates but are also quite busy at certain times of the year.

OUR RECOMMENDED ROUTES TO TAKE

The best Kilimanjaro route is the 8-day Lemosho or the 7-day Machame. Both routes offer good acclimatisation opportunities, and therefore have low incidence of altitude sickness. Summit success rates on these routes are high, and both are very scenic.
