Four routes up Africa's highest mountain, led by licensed guides from Arusha.
Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, and Uhuru Peak stands at 5,895 metres. It is a national park, with park rules, rangers, porters and real altitude. We run four routes of six to eight days on the mountain, which is seven to nine days in total with your arrival and departure day. Each has extra time built in to help you adjust. Compare them below, then ask for a personalised quote. We reply within 24 hours.

It depends on how much time you have and how you want to sleep. Marangu is the shortest at seven days and the only route with huts and beds. Rongai starts on the quieter north side. Machame passes through five climate zones. Lemosho is the longest at nine days, with the most time to adjust to the altitude.
Our routes take six to eight days on the mountain, which is seven to nine days in total once you add the arrival and departure day. Marangu is 6 days on the mountain (7 total), Rongai and Machame are 7 (8 total), and Lemosho is 8 (9 total). We build a rest or acclimatisation day into every route because the extra night is what gives most people a realistic chance of reaching the summit.
No. Altitude affects everyone differently, and no operator can promise the summit. Our guides check how you are doing and will turn the group around if they need to. That is a professional decision, not a failure.
Kilimanjaro is a high-altitude trek rather than a technical climb. The challenge is the altitude, the cold and the length of summit day, which can take 11 to 14 hours on some routes.
Yes. A safari or a few days on Zanzibar can follow after a rest night once you are back from the mountain. There is no game viewing on the climb itself.
