One of the most popular routes due to its highest summit success rates and most spectacular scenery. Traverses the Shira Plateau with excellent acclimatisation via the "trek high, sleep low" principle.
One of the most popular routes on Kilimanjaro with high success rates. Features spectacular scenery and the "trek high, sleep low" acclimatisation approach through diverse climate zones.
The ideal 7-day Machame schedule. The Barranco–Barafu trek is split over two days, giving better rest before the midnight summit push and optimal acclimatisation for a greater chance of success.
Ascends from the north-eastern side along the Tanzania–Kenya border through unspoilt wilderness. A quieter, drier alternative with unique views of the Mawenzi peak and Amboseli plains.
The most popular trail to the summit — the "Coca-Cola Route". The only Kilimanjaro route with permanent hut accommodation, offering relative luxury with access to amenities throughout.
The 6-day Marangu option includes an additional acclimatisation day at Horombo Hut with an optional hike toward Mawenzi peak — significantly improving summit success over the standard 5-day version.
The most challenging route on Kilimanjaro with steep inclines and rugged terrain approaching from the south. After Barranco, the route traverses the Southern Circuit beneath the Southern Ice Field to Barafu.
A little-used trail beginning near Shira Ridge on the western slopes. Approaches the summit via Barafu Camp and Stella Point, descending via the Mweka Route with extended acclimatisation time.
The newest and longest route on Kilimanjaro. Starts at Londorossi Gate, follows Lemosho then circles the quieter northern slopes — including views of the Shark's Tooth rock formation — before summiting from the east.
