Starting from the Rongai gate, the route traverses several diverse climate zones, and each produces its own amazing views and experiences. Because of its remote location the route offers trekkers a relatively unspoilt wilderness experience where it is possible to see large wildlife like antelope, elephant and buffalo. Heading up to Kikelewa Caves on day two, the views start to open up, with the Amboseli Plains of Kenya stretching into the distance. The route continues up to the mountain’s second summit at Mawenzi, before crossing the Saddle, a barren plain that connects the two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. After reaching the summit, the descent is along the more heavily travelled Marangu route, offering you the chance to see Mount Kilimanjaro from both sides.

Lying in the rain shadow of Kilimanjaro, the Rongai route is one of the best routes to make the attempt on Kilimanjaro during the rainy season.

Shira route starts on the Western Site of the Kilimanjaro. It is almost the same as the Lemosho route. But on the first day, you ascend to the 2nd camp of the Lemosho route. Only after that, do the two routes correspond. Shira Route is one of the older and less frequented routes on Mount Kilimanjaro. It offers a challenging yet rewarding climb with stunning scenery and diverse landscapes. Shira Route is known for its breathtaking views, particularly across the vast Shira Plateau, one of the largest high-altitude plateaus in the world. Hikers can expect to see dramatic landscapes, including volcanic cones, glaciers, and lush valleys. The route also offers excellent views of Kibo, the summit crater of Kilimanjaro.

Umbwe route is a less popular trail that deserves attention. In the past, it was perceived as a difficult route. However, while it is steeper in the first two days, the route is still suitable for many hikers. It begins on the southern side of Mount Kilimanjaro, converging with Lemosho route and Machame route on the third day before the Barranco Wall. A key characteristic of Umbwe is that during the first two days you will hardly see other trekkers Overall, it’s a very scenic route that will allow you to see some of the best views on Kilimanjaro, traverse all of the mountain’s climatic zones, and observe its unique plants and animals.

Tanzania is world-renowned for its incredible, abundant, and diverse wildlife, making it the premier destination for your safari adventure of a lifetime. Zanzibar is the home of idyllic beaches, balmy weather & warm tropical waters. This archipelago is renowned for clear warm waters, coral reefs, and rich marine diversity making it a perfect under-water destination for snorkeling and diving. Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The local Kololo tribe calls it “mosi-oa-tuna” or “the smoke that thunders”. Situated on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls is where the steadily flowing Zambezi River, unaware of what lies ahead, casually approaches the falls, then suddenly plunges down a series of basalt gorges in a breathtaking display of several waterfalls. The falls are best seen from the air, thus activities such as helicopter flights, balloon rides, and micro-lighting over the falls are a must-do.

The Marangu Route is the classic trail for Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing, often called the Coca-Cola route. Unlike other trails, it offers communal huts for staying rather than camping. Although the route is relatively easy and has few steep climbs, it's known for a lower success rate due to limited acclimatization time. Its popularity remains, providing a unique experience as one of the oldest Kilimanjaro Routes and the convenience of purchasing a Coke along the way.

The Northern Circuit is one of the newest routes on Kilimanjaro. It is an amazing climb and the only one that circles clockwise around the north side of Mount Kilimanjaro. The Northern Circuit begins at the Lemosho gate and ascends through the lush rainforest. It follows the Lemosho path for the first few days. The route continues ascending to the desolate yet beautiful Shira Plateau in the Heather/Moorland zone. From there the route continues to the prominent Lava Tower before heading north on the only route on that side of Kilimanjaro. You will feel like you have the entire mountain to yourself as you are treated to amazing views of Kenya below. It continues to circle around until it reaches the northeast side and heads for the summit from there.

The Northern Circuit Route is distinctive for its circumnavigation of the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro. Typically completed in 9-10 days, the Northern Circuit Route is one of the longest routes, providing ample time for acclimatization and ensuring a high success rate. This route offers an unparalleled panorama of Kilimanjaro, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts and the glacial summit. The variety of landscapes is simply breathtaking.
