Do you have the dream of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro but wonder if you can make it? Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is certainly a challenge, but you don’t need to be an experienced climber to reach its summit. If you are healthy and fit it is absolutely within reach. We have an experienced and professional team that can bring you to the top safely.
That is why 95% of our guests reach the top of Africa’s highest mountain. There are many things you can do to increase your chances to reach the summit and to make sure you enjoy the trek. One of the things is buying good gear and practice hikes in your home country a few months before your departure. Since altitude sickness is the main reason people fail to reach the top, it’s important to take your time. Give your body time to acclimatize. Check out below which climbing route fits you best.
The most popular route is the Lemosho route, due to the breathtaking scenery and views. If you are fit and well prepared, you can also climb the Marangu-, Machame-, and Northern Circuit Route.
How long to stay? The duration of the climbing route + 2 nights (arrival and departure day).
Which hotel? The Weru Weru River Lodge is the favourite accommodation of our guest, because of the good friendly service, delicious food, beautiful area with pool next to a coffee plantation.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro offers several routes, each with its own unique scenery, difficulty level, and success rate. Choosing the right route is essential for a safe and enjoyable trekking experience, as it directly affects acclimatization and overall summit success.






You can climb Kilimanjaro any time of the year, but the best conditions to climb Africa’s highest peak, are during the months June till mid-March (except November). February is the best month since the temperature is high and the changes or rainfall low. The rainy season starts from mid-March till June and the month November. However there are people who choose to climb Kilimanjaro in April or November since it is quite and less crowded on the trails.
