Itinerary

Tackle Mount Kilimanjaro via the iconic Machame Route on this well-paced 7-day climb designed to boost acclimatization and summit success. Approaching from the south-west, the trail winds through lush rainforest and open moorland before linking up with the Shira Plateau and traversing beneath Kibo’s dramatic southern icefields. As altitude increases, crowds thin out and the mountain reveals its raw, untamed character.

Clear days reward you with sweeping views of Mount Meru floating above the clouds—an image that tends to stick for life. The final push follows the Barafu Route, a demanding yet spectacular ascent that leads you to Uhuru Peak just as dawn breaks over Africa. With an extra day built in, this itinerary strikes the sweet spot between challenge and comfort, giving you time to acclimatise properly while soaking up Kilimanjaro’s ever-changing scenery.

day 1Moshi – Kilimanajaro Gate – Machame camp

Enjoy a morning pickup from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and drive to Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, passing through the Machame village on the mountain’s lower slopes. Upon arrival at the gate, the trek begins through dense rainforest, following a winding ridge trail rich in birdlife and towering trees. The path can be muddy and slippery in places, so gaiters and trekking poles are recommended. After a steady climb, you’ll reach Machame Camp, tucked into the forest and marking your first night on the mountain.

7-Day Kilimanjaro Climbing via Lemosho Route

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro on this scenic 7-day Lemosho Route, approaching the mountain from the remote western side along a lightly used trail. Widely regarded by experienced guides and past trekkers as one of the most beautiful—and most rewarding—routes, Lemosho offers a true sense of wilderness from the very first day. The trail crosses the expansive Shira Plateau, skirts the ancient Shira volcanic caldera, and traverses beneath Kibo’s dramatic southern ice fields. Thanks to its gradual ascent profile, the route allows excellent acclimatization and plenty of time to enjoy the changing landscapes before joining other routes later in the climb. This itinerary also includes a rare overnight camp at the crater, adding an unforgettable highlight to the journey. The final summit push follows the Barafu Route, known for its striking views of Kibo as you climb toward the roof of Africa.

6-Day Kilimanjaro Climbing via Marangu Route

The trek offers beautiful scenery, with each day passing through a different climate zone, from lush rainforest to alpine landscapes. The standout moment is summit day, when you walk from Gillman’s Point along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, passing impressive glaciers and ice cliffs along the way. On clear mornings, the views are exceptional, stretching across the Rift Valley, Mount Meru, and the Maasai Steppe. Join this classic route for a memorable ascent to Africa’s highest mountain.

6-Day Kilimanjaro Climbing via Rongai Route

Embark on a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the Rongai Route, approaching the mountain from the north near the Kenya–Tanzania border. This lesser-used route remained largely untouched for many years due to its sensitive location, making it one of the quietest approaches to the summit. Now fully open for trekking, the Rongai Route is considered by experienced guides to be easier than the popular Marangu Trail, with a high summit success rate and scenic, gradual ascent. The trek begins through cultivated farmland and forest, offering occasional wildlife sightings, before continuing through multiple climate zones on the way to Africa’s highest peak.

Kilimanjaro Climb: 6 Days Marangu Route

The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha and drive you to Marangu Gate. From there you follow the trail that takes you to the top of the mountain via Mandara, Horombo and Kibo huts. The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and of moderate intensity. The only portion that is quite demanding is the approach to the summit. However, you also have the option of adding a day for acclimatization at an additional amount if you want to. The advantage of this route is that kiosks selling mineral water bottles, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are available in camp sites throughout the climb.
