The Ultimate Guide To Hiking Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is a dream destination for many adventurers who are looking for the ultimate hiking experience. With its iconic snowy peak, this mountain attracts thousands of experienced hikers every year. However, tackling Kilimanjaro is not an easy feat and requires proper planning and preparation. In this guide, we will take you through the different routes, costs, and tips for choosing the right Kilimanjaro tour company and ensuring a successful climb.
The Different Routes
There are six main routes to climb Kilimanjaro, each with its own unique features, levels of difficulty, and success rates. These routes are:
- Marangu: This route is often referred to as the "Coca-Cola route" and is named after the huts along the way where hikers can rest and purchase refreshments. However, its success rate is low due to many underestimating the challenge and rushing to the summit.
- Machame: This is the most popular and challenging route, with a success rate of over 60% when completed in 7 days.
- Rongai: This is the easiest route on Kilimanjaro, but it is less scenic and more expensive compared to other routes.
- Shira: This route involves gaining a lot of altitude early on and is a costly option.
- Lemosho: Considered the most picturesque route, it is also one of the more expensive options.
- Umbwe: This route is recommended for experienced climbers seeking an extreme challenge.
It is important to choose a trek of at least 7 days to allow your body to acclimatize to the high altitude and increase your chances of reaching the summit.
Costs
Climbing Kilimanjaro can vary in cost, with prices ranging from $1,000 to over $5,000 USD per person. It is recommended to choose a mid-range company with experienced guides and fair treatment of porters. Do not compromise on safety and pay for a reputable company with positive reviews.
Finding a Kilimanjaro Tour Company

- Choose an ethical company: Book with a company that meets the guidelines for responsible and ethical travel.
