Today, it stands as a World Heritage Site, boasting deep valleys and weather-beaten lava flows. These are wonderfully framed near the Kibo Massif, which resembles twisted, modern sculptures.

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.

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.

Climbing Mount Meru is an epic adventure that combines hiking with exploration of African nature and wildlife. Situated within a national park, it is home to a variety of rare animals and plants. The slopes of Meru are covered in lush tropical forests that give way to heather and high-altitude flora as you trek higher. Mount Meru is often overlooked due to its proximity to Kilimanjaro, but it has plenty to offer those looking for a challenging climb. A dormant volcano that last erupted in 1910, it is Tanzania's second highest mountain at 4566 metres (14,979 ft). Taking only 3 or 4 days to climb it is perfect for those wanting to get a taste of high altitude trekking without going too high before or after going on safari.

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.

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.
