Kilimanjaro Tours & Treks

Africa’s tallest peak creates an instantly recognizable silhouette.

Rising from the acacia forests and scrublands at the border of Kenya and Tanzania . At 19,343ft, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain can seem imposing, but that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach. Our Kilimanjaro tours are made to suit your experience and fitness levels, getting you to the summit with the best team possible. The climb will be challenging! But when you sit at the summit with the sprawling savanna far below, you realize the simple truth: it was all worth it. 

Our Kilimanjaro trips

Let's create an exclusive trip for your group.

Which route is right for you?

Despite being longer and more arduous than the Marangu and Rongai trails, the Machame route has emerged in recent years as a popular choice for trekkers. The 25 miles trail passes through cloud forests and moorland zones to the glaciated precipices of Kibo’s south face. Unlike the Marangu and Rongai routes, trekkers descend via the Mweka route – a steep but scenic path through dry mountain desert and lowland forest.

A trail that winds along the north-eastern side of the mountain near the Kenyan border, Rongai offers up a different side to Africa’s most famous mountain. The route attracts a lower number of climbers than Marangu and Machame, which means the wilderness feels particularly pristine. Fewer people mean there’s a greater chance of seeing wildlife on the Rongai trail than on the other routes. This route also approaches Mount Kilimanjaro through rural heartlands, allowing trekkers to see Chagga village life.

This five-day climb is the most popular and direct of the Kilimanjaro routes, passing through vast grasslands, giant cacti fields and alpine meadows set against dramatic mountain peaks. It’s also the only route where camping is not needed, with trekkers sleeping in huts dotted along the way. The 22 mile uphill walk is well maintained and the views from the summit are striking. As the Marangu route is shorter, the period to acclimatize is also shortened and this has an impact on the trail's overall success rate. 

Why choose us

Our Kilimanjaro trek leaders have been voted among the best Intrepid Group leaders in the world and we have a leading reputation within the travel industry.

All our guides and trek leaders have been trained by independent, UK-based medical specialists and are proficient in first aid. They also carry oxygen cylinders on all treks for emergency use.

Our staff live and work in the Mount Kilimanjaro area, which means revenue from all our treks benefit the local economy.

There’s no hidden costs or ‘catches’ in our prices. All tours include sleeping bags, sleeping mat, camping and safety equipment, emergency oxygen and porterage of 1 bag (up to 33lbs). We also include Kilimanjaro National Park entrance fees, climbing fees, camping and hut fees, and insurance for rescue services (just in case!)

Each of our treks begin with a briefing from our experienced English-speaking guide. On the road we operate on a 2:1 principle – that means we have one guide for every two climbers. Your crew will also be joined by dedicated cooks and porters.

We strive to use travel as a force for good. That’s why we choose to give back to the communities we visit, carbon offset all our trips and take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. We’ve been officially certified as the world’s largest travel B Corp, which means when you choose Intrepid Travel, you can rest assured you’re traveling to improve the planet.

Kilimanjaro travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Are there age restrictions for trekking Mount Kilimanjaro?

The regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro specify a minimum age of 10 years, with no maximum age, however all Intrepid travelers are required to be over 15 years old.

While there is no maximum age for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, it is important to remember that the climb is strenuous and presents health risks, especially to people in high risk categories.

Serious consideration should be given to anyone under the age of 18 and over the age of 60.

Will the altitude affect me?

The summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is above 19,000 feet. At this altitude it’s common for travelers to experience some adverse health effects – regardless of your age, gender or fitness. It even happened to Sir Edmund Hillary!

Everyone will adapt to the altitude and thinning air differently. This is why we always try to keep the ascent slow and steady, to allow your body to acclimatize and make your journey to the summit easier.

Some pre-existing medical conditions are known to severely worsen at high altitude and be difficult to adequately treat on the ground, leading to more serious consequences. It is imperative that you discuss your pre-existing medical condition/s with your doctor.

What will I eat?

To reach the summit you’re going to need the right fuel, which is why our cooks will be providing delicious and nutritious meals throughout your trek.

Our porters carry all the equipment and supplies we need and you’ll be treated to some local dishes.

We can accommodate food allergies and dietary requests but please tell us when you book.

It’s also a good idea to bring your own extra comfort snacks from home to keep your energy levels up during more difficult sections of the trail.

What will I drink?

While on the trek, your guides will boil and cool 0.6 gallons of water for you per day. This will ensure the water is safe to drink and you stay hydrated on the trek.

We recommend you pack 3 x 0.2 gallon refillable water bottles. Please note disposable plastic containers are not allowed on the mountain.

Where will I sleep on Mount Kilimanjaro?

Your accommodation will vary depending on the route you choose.

On the Machame and Rongai route you’ll be camping out under the stars with a full-service camping experience.

You don’t need to bring anything except your enthusiasm. Our two-person tents are ideal for expedition trips and feature a flysheet made from ripstop nylon, anti-mosquito netting, reflective guy ropes and a 3000mm waterhead, ensuring you stay warm and dry even in difficult conditions.

If you choose to trek the Marangu route you’ll enjoy basic but comfortable accommodation in wooden A-frame huts with single beds and simple mattresses.

Due to limited accommodation on the mountain, you may need to share a hut with non-Intrepid passengers and/or members of the opposite sex.

These sleeping huts are not equipped with facilities however there are seperate bathroom huts containing shared toilets and washing facilities.

What if I’ve never trekked before?

Although no mountaineering experience is required, a good level of physical fitness is necessary. You’ll need to be comfortable walking 6-8 hours uphill a day.

The distances may not be long but the altitude makes it harder than your average uphill hike.

We recommend increasing your aerobic exercise in the months leading up to the climb, such as by walking, running or climbing stairs.

There is plenty of time available each day to get between huts or camping sites so there is no need to rush, in fact the slower you go the more time your body has to adapt and the more you’ll enjoy the experience.

What should I pack for Mount Kilimanjaro?

Although a guide will always accompany you on the trail, you are unlikely to see your porter (as they are very fast!) except at the huts or the camps. Therefore it is important you carefully pack a smaller day pack you carry yourself. Anything you need during the course of the day should be in your day pack including, most importantly, something warm and something waterproof. 

From 2019 your maximum gear allowance is 20 lbs. At the welcome meeting you will be provided with a duffel/kit bag to transfer your hiking luggage into. This waterproof bag minimizes the weight your porter needs to carry and allows you to store excess luggage at the hotel.

Light clothing is generally sufficient until you reach the 12-14,000 feet altitude range provided you always have something warm and waterproof in your daypack. Beyond these altitudes, even if the mornings are glorious, you must always be ready for dramatic changes in the weather, including snow storms. You must have clothing with you in your daypack adequate to the conditions. Please ensure your day pack is large enough to carry these clothes, your lunch box, 0.6 gallons of water and any other items such as camera equipment. Warm clothing is important for the final ascent. The ascents are done at night and this is when the coldest temperatures are experienced. You must be prepared for temperatures of minus 13 Fahrenheit. As a rule you should wear two pairs of socks, two-three layers on the legs and four-five layers on top. A balaclava or neck gaiter and woolly hat are necessary to keep the head warm, while gloves and sunglasses are also needed.

Note: the bag the porter carries for you should not exceed 20 lbs. If bags are too heavy items may have to be removed or the climber may choose to hire an additional porter.

When is the best time to visit Mount Kilimanjaro?

Kilimanjaro's location near the equator is a great advantage, with very little seasonal variation in climbing conditions.

The rainy seasons from March to May and November to December may make the track a little slippery.

Generally speaking, January, February and September are considered the best times to climb the mountain.

What will the weather be like at Mount Kilimanjaro?

Part of what makes Kilimanjaro so unique is the diversity of ecosystems and micro-climates on its slopes. This same benefit is what makes predicting conditions a challenge.

You should trek expecting everything from tropical rainforests to sub-zero landscapes. The weather is prone to shift without warning and it is best to be prepared for all possibilities.

What are the toilet facilities like at Mount Kilimanjaro?

In a word? Improving. Until recently the toilet facilities left much to be desired but thankfully the park authorities have started to tackle the problem.

Some state-of-the-art eco-toilets have now been built at the major campsites.

There is the option to arrange a toilet tent for the entire trip. Please speak to your booking agent about the cost of this service.

What is the average success rate for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro?

The success of each climb is dependent on a number of varying factors, such as the weather on Mount Kilimanjaro and the age and fitness of each trekker. With that said we have achieved a success rate of 75% to Uhuru Peak across our three climbing routes.

Do your mountain guides carry first aid kits?

Yes. We carry multiple, comprehensive first aid kits and our mountain guides are fully trained on their use. All of our mountain guides are first-aid qualified.

Are your mountain guides trained to recognize symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)?

Absolutely! Intrepid have invested in the highest standards of training of any operator on Kilimanjaro. This includes advanced altitude training delivered by a UK doctor and altitude research specialist. One of the key elements of this is training on the Lake Louise altitude assessment system, which allows our mountain guides to effectively monitor clients constantly whilst on Kilimanjaro and assess if they are suffering from AMS and, if so, how severe that AMS is. We also train them on how to respond in the case of a moderate or severe case of altitude sickness – which will always mean organizing for the affected client to descend immediately. During your briefing on the first evening of your trip, your mountain guide will talk to you about symptoms of AMS and how to recognize them.

Do you carry medicines for altitude?

Yes – there are two key, potentially life-saving drugs that our teams carry on the mountain. These are Dexamethasone and Nifedipine and they used to treat cerebral and pulmonary oedema, which are the two potentially life-threatening complications of severe AMS. Our mountain guides are fully trained on the use of these drugs for altitude related illnesses.

Please note that we do not carry Diamox on our Kilimanjaro treks. The reason for this is that, although medical research suggests that Diamox can be very effective in aiding acclimatization to altitude, it has been proven to be far less effective at treating severe AMS. You may wish to talk to your doctor prior to traveling about being prescribed Diamox to assist acclimatization while you climb Kilimanjaro.

Will oxygen be available?

We carry medical oxygen – and when a group has four passengers or more, this will mean multiple cylinders will be distributed among the team of mountain guides to ensure that oxygen is always quickly available in the case of an emergency. The oxygen that we carry is strictly for emergency use only – and cannot be used by clients to assist in climbing or summiting.

Do you carry Gamow bags or PACs?

No. Gamow bags and PACs are two types of portable hyperbaric chambers, which are sometimes used for sufferers of severe AMS. What makes Kilimanjaro relatively unique is that it is a "rapid ascent mountain" – meaning altitude gain happens extremely quickly. Logically, therefore, Kilimanjaro is also a "rapid descent mountain" and our policy is that in the case of severe AMS, our mountain guides will immediately evacuate the patient down the mountain, usually with the assistance of porters to carry the person affected. Often, a descent of just a few miles will be enough to make a difference. Gamow bags and PACs are more effective in other parts of the world where rapid descent on foot is not possible. Also, a gammow bag takes a little while to inflate – which on Kilimanjaro is valuable time lost when an evacuation down the mountain could already have commenced.

How do your mountain guides communicate on Kilimanjaro?

Mobile phone coverage on the mountain is improving – but it's still patchy in many areas. For this reason, Intrepid mountain guides carry short wave radios to allow for communication in the case of an emergency.

How do you ensure your porters are well looked after?

Unfortunately there is a problem in the trekking industry with some service providers taking advantage of porters, compromising staff safety in order to minimize costs. Our Tanzanian Destination Management Company (DMC) was established in 2014 with the purpose of ensuring Intrepid stood at the forefront of responsible tourism practices on Mount Kilimanjaro. We're proud to say that we're an official partner of the International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC) and its Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP). This means all of our climbs have been assessed and scored based on a number of criteria designed to ensure the proper treatment of porters on the mountain. You can read more about KPAP's good work at the bottom of this page.

Who is your local operator in Tanzania?

All Intrepid Kilimanjaro climbs are operated by Intrepid Guerba Tanzania Limited, which is a fully owned Intrepid company based in northern Tanzania.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Ever stood on the top floor of a skyscraper and thought, “Bah, this ain’t so tall”? Then you might just be Kilimanjaro material. Join us as we walk in the bootprints of famed explorers and mountaineers on our way to the top of Africa’s tallest peak, hiking through lush rainforests and alpine deserts, across glaciers by day and sleeping closer to the stars than you ever dreamed possible by night. Over 1,500 trekkers make the ascent with us each year, and we’d love to help you to the top.

Kilimanjaro: Four ways to the top

Kilimanjaro is no picnic, but unlike other massive peaks, it gives those daring enough to climb it multiple routes to the top. Consult our route map to see which one’s right for you.

Kilimanjaro Trekking FAQ

Will the altitude affect us.

The air at the summit contains about half of the breathable oxygen most of us are used to at sea level. Everyone will handle the high altitude and thinner air differently and to varying degrees, which is why we try to keep the ascent slow and steady. The more time you give yourself to acclimatize, the easier your attempt at the summit will be.

What will we eat?

You’ll need energy to make that push to the top, and our camp cooks make certain that there’s plenty of healthy, quality food on hand. Our team of porters carries the equipment and supplies (including fresh produce), and meals consist of local and international cuisine. Our cooks can accommodate special requests, but please let us know when you book.

What are the conditions like?

As the highest peak in Africa (and the tallest freestanding mountain in the entire world), Kili is home to a variety of ecosystems and microclimataes. Everything from tropical forests to subzero alpine environments await up here, and the weather can switch from pleasant to inclement at a moment’s notice, so come prepared for anything.

Where will we sleep?

On all routes excluding the Marangu Route, we offer full-service camping. Apart from a sleeping bag and pillow (which can be rented), you don’t need to bring anything else. Your three-season tent, complete with built-in vestibule and mesh insect netting, will be pitched for you, and we’ll provide you with a 4cm-thick (1.6 in) mattress free of charge.

On the Marangu Route, you’ll stay in wooden A-frame huts with single beds and simple mattresses. Space on the mountain is limited, so prepare for the possibility of sharing your hut with non-G Adventures trekkers and/or members of the opposite sex. All huts are equipped with shared toilets and washing facilities.

I’ve never trekked before. Is that a problem?

While Kili is no cakewalk, it’s a perfectly achievable hike for healthy travellers with a moderate degree of physical fitness. That said, we do recommend that you do some advance training. The best way to prepare is to hike and hill-walk wherever you can in the weeks leading up to your departure in order to build up your stamina and climbing muscles. (A stair-climber at the gym is a good alternative if you don’t have any mountains at the ready.) Start training six months out. With a little preparation, you should get to the top without much trouble.

Description

Join us for an unforgettable hiking adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro! Known as “the Roof of Africa” and towering over its surrounding valleys at an astounding elevation of 19,341 feet (5,985m), Kilimanjaro is one of the “7 Summits” of the world!

At Wildland, our approach is to get our guests ‘off the beaten path’ for a fuller, more novel experience of the world’s wilderness destinations. On this trip we follow the Rongai Route which provides wonderful solitude and exposes our guests to different environments and views of the mountain before merging with the more popular Marangu route. Trekking Kilimanjaro requires no technical ability, just hiking, while the main challenge is the elevation. We have created the ideal 10-day itinerary for optimal acclimatization and a high success rate of reaching the summit.

After our Kilimanjaro hike, we provide the option for an add-on Wildlife Safari and Cultural Tour. The  Wild Africa Safari visits the Maasai, Datoga and Hadzabe tribes and Wildlife Safaris in Tanzania’s famous Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro National Parks.

*Itinerary Note: Wildland Trekking stands alone in providing a complete experience on Kilimanjaro. We have a well-tested acclimatization process to increase your chances of a successful summit attempt. Your Kilimanjaro itinerary is not just a climb of the mountain but also includes an extra rest day after your travels in Tanzania to experience the local culture. Many companies economize by getting you in and out as quickly as possible, and that is the opposite of the Wildland approach.

Learn About Our Private Trips

Today is arrival day. The Wildland team will pick you up from the airport and shuttle you to our hotel for the next 2 nights in the nearby city of Moshi. Here you can rest from your travels by the pool, in your room or at the rooftop viewing area and lounge. If we are lucky, the clouds will dissipate and allow us our first glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro during sunset. After we enjoy dinner together, your lead guide will conduct a full orientation meeting to review the itinerary specifics, gear & packing details, health considerations, and answer any questions. Be sure to drink copious amounts of water throughout the day, as flying and traveling can dehydrate you. Self-care begins immediately and we want you to be as ready as possible for our trek up the mountain!

• Hiking Mileage: 3.1 miles (5km)
• Elevation Gain/Loss: Minimal
• Trekking Duration: ~3 hours
• Driving Time: 1 hour
• Accommodations: Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel

Today, after breakfast at our hotel, we will shuttle to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro to the village of Materuni. Here we will set out on a light hike to an amazing waterfall along the Mware River. Today’s hike helps with acclimatization while not being too strenuous after your long travels. Materuni Falls, born from melting ice and snow flowing from the top of the mountain, plunges over 220 feet (67 meters)! At these majestic falls we’ll enjoy a relaxing break, a swim if you like and a nutritious picnic lunch before heading back to the village. Once back at the village, we will visit a coffee plantation and see how they grow famous Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. You will be served a delicious cup of rich and aromatic coffee fresh as you can get it and served by the Chagga people, who hold the reputation of being the best farmers of Tanzania. After enjoying this cultural treat, we’ll head back to the hotel to relax before dinner. Get some rest; tomorrow our expedition begins!

• Hiking Mileage: 4.1 miles (6.6km)
• Elevation Gain: 2,075 feet (632m)
• Elevation Loss: 50 feet (15m)
• Trekking Duration: 3-4 hours
• Accommodations: Premier Camping

Today is the official start of our expedition to climb Kilimanjaro! We head out on a roughly 3-hour drive to the village of Nale Moru where our trek begins. In Nale Moru, after meeting our entire crew and team, we will have a hot lunch. Our porters will get our gear organized and packed for the hike, and after everything is organized and ready we begin our trek. We’ll start hiking on a path that climbs gently and consistently through the beautiful, temperate forests that drape the foothills of Kilimanjaro. Along the way, we may have opportunities to view some wildlife: Colobus Monkeys are often abundant along with many species of birds, reptiles and gazelles. We continue hiking until we arrive at Simba Camp (8,650’/2,636m) for the night. Facing North, we’ll have stunning views of the plains of Kenya while we enjoy a delicious meal and a relaxing evening.

• Hiking Mileage: 3.5 miles (5.6km)
• Elevation Gain: 2,765 feet (843m)

Waking up on Kilimanjaro with Wildland means getting a hot drink of your choice delivered to your tent and a warm bowl of water to wash your hands and face. What a way to start the day! Then comes a nutritious breakfast to fuel our day’s activities. Today we head up the trail and immediately have outstanding views of Kibo Peak and the Eastern Ice Fields sitting on the crater rim. Arriving at Second Cave Camp (11,415’/3,480m) by lunch allows us to relax for a bit and give our bodies time to acclimatize before an afternoon walk to higher elevations, which helps us further our acclimatization process. Everything we do on the mountain is designed to prepare us for our summit bid. This includes non-stop self care, proper acclimatization practices and hiking “pole, pole”, translated “slowly, slowly” in Swahili.

• Hiking Mileage: 3.6 miles (5.8km)
• Elevation Gain: 1,060 feet (323m)
• Elevation Loss: 415 feet (126m)
• Trekking Duration: 4 hours

After our morning drinks and full breakfast, we will pack up to hike towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Our hike through the open moorlands continues until we reach a small set of caves created by past historic lava flows. We will briefly explore these caves (optional) before making our last push to Kikelewa Camp (12,175’/3,711m) and our awaiting lunch. Again, arriving to camp for lunch allows time to recuperate and relax before another afternoon acclimatization hike. The views from tonight’s camp are spectacular and the sunset not to be missed. As darkness falls the lights in small far off Kenyan villages dot the landscape below us. Warm dinner and drinks are served before the nightly briefing and health check by your guide.

• Hiking Mileage: 2.2 miles (3.5km)
• Elevation Gain: 2,080 feet (634m)
• Elevation Loss: 30 feet (9m)
• Trekking Duration: 4-5 hours

This morning, after breakfast, we depart Kikelewa Cave and ascend to Mawenzi Tarn camp (14,120’/4,304m). The hike today is relatively short, and we will make it to camp before lunch once again. The views from this campsite are absolutely stunning. After a hot lunch, we will enjoy an acclimatization hike in the surrounding area and take in more of the views from our incredible vantage point. We will be back at camp with time to wash up before dinner is served.

• Hiking Mileage: 5.2 miles (8.4km)
• Elevation Gain: 1,720 feet (524m)
• Elevation Loss: 400 feet (122m)
• Trekking Duration: 6 hours

This morning we leave camp early with beautiful views of Mawenzi and Kibo Peaks after a full breakfast. Above 14,000 feet, it can be challenging to hike, so we will take our time and begin trekking across the high-altitude desert to our basecamp at Kibo Hut (15,425’/4,702m). Upon our arrival at basecamp around mid-day, we will eat lunch and then rest in our tents before an early dinner is served around 6pm. After dinner, your guides will conduct a final briefing and health check. Then we turn in to get our final rest and sleep before our summit attempt. We will be waking up around 11:30pm to have some hot drinks and snacks before starting our ascent to the Kilimanjaro summit at Uruhu Peak!

Summit Attempt Optional Hike:

• Hiking Mileage: 6 miles (9.7km)
• Elevation Gain/Loss: 4,050 feet (1,235m)

As we begin our summit attempt, we’ll only bring what we need. Typically, the sky is clear and filled with stars. It is a very peaceful time to be on the mountain. We’ll continue hiking with our goal to reach the edge of the crater at Gillman’s Point (18,652’/5,685m). Next we will traverse the crater rim to Stella Point (18,885’/5,756m), here a few trails converge to start the final ascent to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak (19,341’/5,895m). At the summit we’ll snap pictures and soak up the gratification of our achievement. Looking down on the valleys and forests surrounding Kilimanjaro as the sun rises, most hikers feel this is one of the most memorable half-hours of their lives. After having photos at Uhuru Peak, we’ll begin our decent back to basecamp.

Kibo Hut to Horombo Hut Hike:

• Hiking Mileage: 5.6 miles (9km)
• Elevation Gain: 80 feet (24m)
• Elevation Loss: 3,190 feet (972m)
• Trekking Duration: 10-14 hours (Summit & hike to camp combined here)

Upon arrival at basecamp, we will rest and have lunch before beginning our 3-hour (gentle) descent to Horombo camp (12,300’/3,749m) along the famous and popular Marangu route. NOTE: This is a very long day and most guests are very tired upon reaching basecamp and then walking to Horombo.

• Hiking Mileage: 12.1 miles (19.5km)
• Elevation Gain: 220 feet (67m)
• Elevation Loss: 6,350 feet (1,935m)
• Trekking Duration: 6-8 hours

Today is the last day of our trek on Mt. Kilimanjaro and it’s a long beautiful hike through a constantly changing landscape. Along the way, we stop at the Mandara Huts for a long break before continuing down. This tropical area often has groups of Blue monkeys and possibly the rarer Colobus monkeys. We’ll be descending to where the Marangu route begins/ends at the Marangu gate entrance of the Park. Here we’ll have a hot lunch upon our arrival. For those guests who made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro, climbed to Stella Point or Gilliman’s Point, you will collect official certificates from the Park before saying goodbye to your mountain crew; in classic Kilimanjaro style with songs and dancing!

Tonight, we again stay in Moshi at the Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel and have one final celebratory dinner capping off this adventure of a lifetime!

For guests only joining our Kilimanjaro Trek, you will be transported back to Kilimanjaro International Airport today. For guests joining our  Wild Africa Safari , today is Day 1 of the Safari itinerary, so we will leave early and transfer to our first day’s activities.

Optional Add-on Safari

Make the most of your time in Africa with an add-on Safari tour that takes place after your trek to Kilimanjaro (on Day 10)! 6 days in length and all-inclusive, our Safari Add-on tour is an opportunity to experience Africa’s amazing wildlife and unique, colorful cultures.  Click here to read more about our Add-on Safari Tour!

Wildland Trekking stands alone in providing a complete experience on Kilimanjaro. We have a well-tested acclimatization process to increase your chances of summiting. Your Kilimanjaro trek is not just a climb of the mountain but also includes an extra rest day to experience the local culture. Many companies economize by getting you in and out as quickly as possible, and that is the opposite of the Wildland approach.

Please Note : We always do everything in our power to follow the set itinerary, however occasionally trips are subject to itinerary changes based on a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to: lodging/campground availability, extreme weather, political or bureaucratic obstacles, earthquakes, fires, flooding and more. Normal  terms and conditions  apply to trips with itinerary changes.

Meals: What to Expect

There will only be one airport shuttle departure for the group. Our Tanzania communications team will be in contact approximately  45 days before your trip to coordinate your rendezvous and answer any last-minute questions you have.

Click here to see a printable, downloadable trip information packet with more detailed guidance about flights, shuttles, recommended lodging and more.

Pre and Post-trip On Request Lodging

We secure limited amounts of pre and post trip lodging in Moshi, Tanzania as an optional add-on for guests of this trip. This lodging is on request, and is available on a first come, first serve basis. If interested, please reach out directly  to our team to check availability.

Travel to Kilimanjaro International Airport

Booking flights.

For our Kilimanjaro Trek you will need to arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (near Moshi, Tanzania, airport code JRO) on the day the trip begins, no later than 4 P.M. Your guide will rendezvous with you at the airport and transport you to our hotel for the first 2 nights, Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel. The shuttle from the airport to the resort is usually 45 minutes-1 hour. There will only be one airport shuttle departure for the group. Your return flight should be scheduled for the final day of the tour after 9 A.M and only one group shuttle is planned for the group.

If you would like a shuttle to/from the airport at a different time, please contact the Adventure Consultant team to arrange a private shuttle for you.

Flights to and from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) are the guest’s responsibility. Multiple airlines operate connecting flights into JRO, but we recommend connecting through Amsterdam or Qatar. Most international airports in the U.S., Australia, Canada and Europe have flights that fly to these five connecting cities. The total travel time varies from 14 to 30 hours depending on the origin and number and duration of layovers.

Please Note: We recommend not flying with Kenya Airways because the connecting flight from Nairobi is often changed or cancelled, and they have a poor track record with losing luggage.

Porter Team

Anyone who has climbed to the summit of Kilimanjaro could not have achieved this goal without the tremendous support and effort made by local porters and guides. It takes a team not an individual to reach the summit of Africa and we have the upmost respect and fondness of every member of our expedition teams. Throughout Kilimanjaro’s climbing history and sadly still today, some porters do not receive the support and care from certain segments of the industry that they tirelessly deliver climb after climb to adventure travelers from all over the world.

We voluntarily participate with KPAP’s monitoring activities and allow KPAP to evaluate the treatment of our porters on all of our climbs. By climbing with us you can be assured that your porters are well taken care of.

KPAP also helps to improve the working conditions of porters by:

• Lending donated clothing at no charge to the mountain crew for use while climbing
• Educating the public on porter working conditions and climbing responsibly
• Providing industry guidelines for proper porter treatment
• Offering educational classes to porters

Please consider supporting KPAP by making a financial contribution to enable them to continue with their Partner for Responsible Travel Program and free services for porters. To make a donation, please visit https://kiliporters.org/

Safety Precautions

Your safety is our top priority. Our hiking tours are led by professional hiking guides, all of whom are wilderness-certified first responders or EMT’s, each with years of guiding and wilderness experience. Guides adhere to standardized risk management protocols in case of any potential or actual incident, and all tours carry an emergency communication device and comprehensive first-aid kit. Additionally we have a “24/7” system through which guides or guests can reach Wildland support personnel at any time.

In the interest of your safety, it’s important to refer to the  Center for Disease Control website  for up-to-date recommendations on immunizations before your trip.

Essential Eligibility Criteria

Essential Eligibility Criteria (“EEC”)  have been specifically identified to help you understand the skills and abilities necessary to participate on each Wildland trip, and they apply uniformly to all potential trip participants, irrespective of the presence or absence of any disability.

Once you identify a trip in which you may be interested, please carefully review the  EEC  and itinerary details. If after reviewing the EEC that apply to your desired trip, you determine you need an accommodation in order to meet the EEC, please  contact us  prior to registering to discuss your requested accommodation.

The EEC exist for your own safety and the safety and enjoyment of all participants. If you are unable to meet the EEC for the trip, with or without an accommodation, you are not eligible for that trip. If you register and arrive for a trip for which you do not meet the EEC, you will be disqualified from participation on the trip and will be dismissed or evacuated from the trip without a refund.

Our approach to international travel is to combine the best of two worlds: the dialed-in details, professionalism and consistency Wildland trips are known for; and the cultural immersion and intimate regional knowledge that only locals can provide. To excel with this approach, we vet and hire the best local guides, welcome them into the Wildland family and train them to meet our standard of excellence with every aspect of a trip. But along with managing logistics and safety, your guides will teach you about the area’s history and culture, and provide a level of familiarity and intimate detail only locals can.

Check out our  Meet Our Team  page for staff bios.

Guide Working Parameters

Guides are required to take 8 hours off each 24-hour period to sleep, recuperate, take personal/down time…etc. In addition, as part of the 8 hours off they must sleep/rest or be in their tents/rooms  uninterrupted  for a minimum of 5 hours each night. We ask guests to respect these requirements and to not interrupt guides’ off time and sleep time unless there is a true emergency.

Age Restrictions

Age restrictions on this trip are as follows:

• 12 and older to join scheduled tours (mixed groups)
• 5 and older to join private tours, with final approval and specific logistical requirements (such as porter or stock assist) determined on a case by case basis

Trip Insurance

Field evacuation, repatriation, and medical insurance is required on this trip as a condition of partnership terms with our Tanzanian vendors (field evacuation and repatriation minimum coverage is a combined $200,000 USD).

If you need to purchase field evacuation, repatriation, or medical insurance we recommend IMG/iTravelinsured. They are one of the world’s leading providers of travel insurance and policies meet all Tanzanian requirements.

Weather on Kilimanjaro

The temperatures on Mount Kilimanjaro vary tremendously from hot and exposed to quite cold. The trek from the national park entrance to the summit is the climatic equivalent of traveling from Brazilian rain forests to the Arctic in just a couple days. We will hike through 4 different ecological zones, representing a massive range of temperatures as we ascend toward the summit. Temperatures will be warm in Moshi.

The average temperatures and precipitation on Kilimanjaro are:

• Accommodations

KILIMANJARO WONDERS HOTEL

This is one of the first 4-star, boutique hotels in Moshi. It provides great, modern ambience and luxury facilities. Only 45 km from Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, it is a perfect home base to prepare for our trek up the mountain.  The view of the mountain from the roof top is outstanding! (A/C, heat, showers)

CHANYA LODGE

Chanya in Kiswahili translates to “positive” and this is the overall mission of Chanya Lodge’s dedication to their clientele. Located on the outskirts of Moshi, Chanya lodge is perfectly located in the foothills of the stately Mount Kilimanjaro. Here you’ll find 32 rooms, a plethora of carpeted-grass gardens, a large swimming pool, and a restaurant offering varied cuisine options.

Trip of a Lifetime

This was my 5th trip with Wildland, and I continue to come back for the amazing memories they help create. The trip to Kilimanjaro was no different. As always, the people made the trip. We had the most incredible guides and support staff. They are truly superhuman. On the trail, during dinner, and just hanging out they make you smile. They encourage you up the mountain with songs, and there to help provide you the highest success rate possible. The tipping ceremony at the end is extra special as we all come together to share our final dinner and say goodbyes. This is a trip of a lifetime, and Wildland will make sure you always remember it.

Amazing Trip

A trip of a lifetime made even more outstanding by the care of Wildland. The team that guided us up the mountain anticipated our every need and gave us an amazing trip. I cannot wait for the next trip!

I can't wait for my next Wildland trip!

This trip was incredible! Seeing the diversity of vegetation and stark beauty of the summit crater were some of the highlights of my life thus far. Guides, porters, food, transportation and all accommodations were top notch. Highly recommend!

For many visitors to Africa, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is a once-in-a-lifetime challenge. The climb takes in muddy rainforests, unique high-altitude plants and alpine meadows before finally arriving at the glacier-coated summit. Standing tall above the savannahs of East Africa, Mt Kilimanjaro (5,895m/19,340ft) is an icon of Africa. But just how do you go about climbing Tanzania’s Mt Kilimanjaro and how fit do you have to be?

7 Questions About Kilimanjaro Mountain Climbing Tours

Answered by

Stuart butler.

Why should I choose a Kilimanjaro climbing tour?

“In 1923 George Mallory answered, “Because it’s there,” when a journalist asked him why he wanted to climb Mt Everest. It is a one-liner that applies equally to Mt Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. At 5,895m/19,340ft, Kilimanjaro is not just the highest mountain in Africa, it’s also the world’s largest freestanding mountain. Freestanding means it’s not a part of a mountain chain. More than that, Mt Kilimanjaro is an icon of Africa. For many people, the image of elephants in front of the mass of Kilimanjaro simply is Africa. While the size of the mountain inspires a sense of awe, it’s surprisingly easy to climb. As well, a week-long mountain climbing tour is easy to slot into a standard East African safari.”

How long do I need to complete the climb and does that include time to acclimatize?

“There are several different routes by which Kilimanjaro can be climbed. Some of these are only suitable for those with mountaineering experience. The standard route is the Marangu Route, often sold as a 4-night, 5-day return climb. However, the reality is you’ll be ascending to nearly 6,000m/19,685ft. This 5-day schedule doesn’t allow enough time to safely acclimatize. You should add at least a day to this schedule to allow for a safer ascent. Or, better, try one of the other longer and quieter routes, which will naturally allow for better acclimatization. The Shira Plateau Route, Machame Route or the Northern Circuit Route (the longest of the lot) are all safer ascents. As well as being more rewarding, these all have a fraction of the crowds of Marangu.”

What level of fitness and experience is required for a mountain climbing tour?

“Mt Kilimanjaro is a big mountain and no attempt on its summit should be taken lightly. That said, this is one of the easiest mountains of its height to climb. For all the standard routes, no special mountaineering experience or equipment is required. It’s merely a long but steady uphill climb. Any reasonably fit and determined person should be able to climb it. You will need very warm clothing, including a thick mountain jacket, thermals, gloves and a hat. You’ll also need a very warm four-season sleeping bag. The most common reason for not making it to the summit is altitude-related. The standard 5-day mountain climbing tour simply doesn’t give enough time to get fully acclimatized. It’s far better to add in an extra acclimatization day or to do a longer, more-gradual route than to try and rush up and down.”

What kind of accommodation will I stay in?

“Basic! Accommodation will either be in one of the very simple trekkers’ huts found on the mountain, or you’ll be camping. The huts are just that: a hut, with beds laid out dorm-style. The only form of heating will come from the other exhausted bodies sharing the hut. If you camp, then your chosen trekking company will provide small two-person dome tents. These offer a more comfortable night than in the huts. They are also more private! Better tour operators provide a much larger dining tent. The more upmarket companies will also provide tables and camp chairs. These extras might not sound like much but the added comfort they provide can really make the difference on your trek.”

What does a typical day look like on a Kilimanjaro climb?

“Days start early on Kilimanjaro and typically you’ll shiver your way out of your sleeping bag shortly after dawn. After a steaming bowl of porridge or similar, you’ll be back in your hiking boots to start walking. Aside from breaks to take in the wonderful scenery, or catch your breath, you’ll walk until lunchtime. There’ll be a hearty packed lunch. Then a couple more hours of walking before you arrive at your night spot by mid- to late afternoon. With any luck your porters might have arrived ahead of you and be boiling up a reviving cup of tea. Dinner is served early. Shortly after dark, most people snuggle back into the warmth of their sleeping bag and drift off to sleep. Take note that the more altitude you gain, the more disrupted your sleep is likely to be. Above 4,000m/13,100ft, a combination of the cold and a lack of oxygen make nights very uncomfortable. On summit day, you can give up on sleep altogether. Most people set off from camp around 1 AM. With the aid of flashlights, they walk through the night in order to be on the summit for dawn.”

How much will this tour cost?

“Climbing Kilimanjaro can be an expensive business. All trekkers must be on a package with a guide and at least one porter. The cheapest, shortest and most basic packages cost from US$1,250 per person for the 4-night, 5-day Marangu Route. Prices rise with each extra day and depend on the route you chose. The Shira Plateau Route costs a minimum of US$1,800 for a 7-day trek. This is the one we recommend due to its scenic variety and the opportunity it affords to properly acclimatize. It’s worth paying a little more in order to ensure better food and newer, better-quality tents. Plus, it’s worth having a guide who points out wildlife and interesting sites to you. Before booking a Kilimanjaro trip, be sure to check exactly what is and isn’t included. Remember that in all cases guides and porters will expect tips. This can add another couple of hundred dollars to even the cheapest Kilimanjaro climb.”

What should I consider when choosing a Kilimanjaro climbing tour?

“The most important question to ask yourself before deciding to climb Mt Kilimanjaro is whether you really have the stamina and desire to get to the top. Although not a hard mountain to climb, it’s certainly not a walk in the park. Expect long, energy-draining days, aching muscles, potential altitude problems and extreme cold. If none of these appeal, don’t sign up to a Kilimanjaro trip. You should also consider the season. July to October and January and February are the driest and most pleasant times to climb. Avoid the Wet season, when trails will be muddy or snowbound and views limited. Finally, allow plenty of time to acclimatize. Most people don’t, and many end up regretting that decision as altitude sickness is often the result. ”

Climbing Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania, East Africa, is the highest mountain in Africa with an elevation of 19,341 feet (5,895 meters). It is the largest free-standing mountain in the world and is one of the seven summits.

Its snow-capped peak towers above the surrounding Savannah’s and is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park, which is home to a variety of unique flora and fauna. While it is a dormant volcano, it still serves as an important source of inspiration for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world. More information about Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is composed of three distinct volcanic cones: Kibo 19,340 feet (5895 meters); Mawenzi 16,896 feet (5149 m); and Shira 13,000 feet (3962 m). Uhuru Peak is the highest summit on Kibo’s crater rim.

Mount Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano that began forming a million years ago, when lava spilled from the Rift Valley zone. Two of its three peaks, Mawenzi and Shira, are extinct while Kibo (the highest peak) is dormant and could erupt again.

The last major eruption has been dated to 360,000 years ago, while the most recent activity was recorded just 200 years ago. Kilimanjaro has 2.2 square kilometres (0.85 sq mi) of glacial ice and is losing it quickly due to climate change. The glaciers have shrunk 82% since 1912 and declined 33% since 1989. It might be ice free within 20 years, dramatically affecting local drinking water and crop irrigation.

Who Can Climb Kilimanjaro? Anyone from children over the age of 10 to older generations in their 60s and 70s! All you need is determination and the will to get to the summit. The real challenge with climbing Kilimanjaro is the altitude and the rate of ascent. Don’t worry we will be with you every step of the way!

Hiking Kilimanjaro Routes

There are Seven main Mount Kilimanjaro routes which lead to the summit, Uhuru Peak , one of which starts on the Northern side of the mountain and the rest on the Southern side. The routes are Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Shira, Rongai, Northern Circuit and Umbwe.

Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro takes between five to nine days in order to reach the Kilimanjaro Summit and then descend to the finishing point. The more days spent on the mountain the more likely you will summit successfully because you will become more acclimated to the altitude.

When is the best time to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro?

Mountain weather can be unpredictable, and the best time for a Kilimanjaro Hike is during the dry seasons: December to early March and June to October. We don’t climb during the height of the rainy season, for safety reasons.

Top 5 Reasons to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Exodus

1. Take the Route Less Traveled We climb Kilimanjaro using the Rongai and Lemosho hiking routes in Tanzania (instead of Marangu or Machame) because they are quiet, wilderness routes, well away from the crowded climbs. Only 10% of those climbing Kilimanjaro ascend by these two routes. Both traverse the mountain using different ascent and descent routes, so there’s no back-tracking, giving time to explore the different climatic zones, wildlife and scenery. Our routes comprise six to eight days on the mountain, and all include an extra day compared to the standard trek, to aid acclimatization.

2. Empower Local Communities We believe it’s of great importance to take good care of our porters and by sponsoring the Kilimanjaro porter project , we’re able to provide training, education and fair wages. As well as forming a rainy season school for porters and guides with The African Walking Company, Exodus is also a member of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP), helping to improve working conditions.

3. Travel with the Best on the Mountain Exodus Travels has been leading Kilimanjaro treks for many years, providing expert guides for exceptional trips. We make every effort to work closely with the national park and local partners in Arusha, always ensuring the best standards of practice. We use one guide for every two explorers on every climb. There is full porterage throughout your climb and each of our tours is accompanied by an expert guide who’ll not only provide you with the encouragement and motivation to continue when the going gets tough, but can also share their knowledge about Kilimanjaro and the culture of Tanzania.

4. Put Safety First Your safety is our priority. Our guides undergo comprehensive first aid training and carry portable oxygen to address altitude sickness concerns. Rest assured, you’re in capable hands as you embark on this adventure of a lifetime.

5. Summit Success Exodus boasts one of the highest summit success rates of any operator on Kilimanjaro. With our commitment to excellence, personalized support, and unrivaled expertise, you’ll have the confidence and assistance necessary to reach the summit and make your Kilimanjaro dream a reality.

Are there guides when I’m climbing Kilimanjaro?

When climbing Kilimanjaro with Exodus, you’ll be accompanied by our team of experienced Chagga guides who are well-versed in the intricacies of the mountain. They’ll provide expert instruction, support, and encouragement every step of the way, ensuring a safe and memorable trekking experience. Our guides are equipped with comprehensive first aid training and carry portable oxygen to manage altitude sickness, prioritizing your safety throughout the journey. With a ratio of one guide for every two guests, you can have peace of mind knowing that your safety and well-being are our top priorities.

What is the best month to trek Mount Kilimanjaro?

While Kilimanjaro can be trekked year-round, and each season has its own unique appeal, the best months to trek Mount Kilimanjaro are generally considered to be January, February, and September. These months typically offer the most favorable weather conditions, with clear skies, lower precipitation levels, and warmer temperatures, making for a more comfortable and enjoyable trekking experience. Additionally, these months coincide with the mountain’s dry seasons, reducing the risk of encountering rain or snow on the trek.

FAQs on Mount Kilimanjaro Tours

A Kilimanjaro trek is a challenging adventure due to its high altitude, varied terrain, and the length of the journey. Climbing to the summit, standing at 19,341 feet above sea level, requires careful acclimatization to minimize the risk of altitude sickness, but it doesn’t require any special equipment or mountaineering experience, just physical fitness and guidance from experienced tour leaders. As such, Kilimanjaro trekking is accessible to most fit and determined individuals with proper preparation.

On our tours we allow plenty of time for acclimatization, as well as soaking up the scenery. You’re in safe hands every step of the way, as all our groups are led by experienced Chagga guides and porters, who are on hand to help and offer you encouragement.

Our Kilimanjaro trips have been designed to provide you with enough time to acclimatize for your Kilimanjaro trek and reach the 19,341 ft summit. Our incredible trips are eight to ten days, including six days of hiking.

While climbing Kilimanjaro is a challenging endeavor, it is not a technical climb and requires no specialized mountaineering skills to climb, so it is feasible for beginners with proper preparation, training, and guidance. Many routes up Kilimanjaro are considered more accessible to beginners due to their gradual slopes and shorter durations. With that said, it’s essential for beginners to understand the physical demands of the trek, including long hours of hiking each day, adapting to high altitude, and potentially adverse weather conditions.

Adequate physical fitness and mental resilience are crucial for success on the mountain. Check the activity rating for your trip and use our fitness guides to ensure that you are well prepared for your climb. With the right preparation beginners can indeed conquer Kilimanjaro and experience the unparalleled sense of achievement that comes with reaching its summit.

Check your tour’s trip notes for a detailed kit list and information on what to bring on your trek. Note that your tent and other camping equipment will be provided, but you’ll need to bring a four/five-season sleeping bag and a sleeping mat. You’ll also need hiking essentials like walking poles, a duvet jacket, good-quality, well worn-in hiking boots, and layerable clothing. All luggage for the Kilimanjaro climb should be packed in a soft kit or duffel bag. The weight limit of your kit bag on the trek is 26lb. This does not include your daypack.

Exodus has one of the highest summit success rates of any operator on Kilimanjaro. Last year, our groups on the Rongai Route demonstrated that this is the best six-day route on Kilimanjaro for reaching the summit. During that time, 88 percent of our clients reached Gilman’s Point and 79 percent reached Uhuru Peak, the true summit of Kilimanjaro. We are dedicated to ensuring as many of our guests as possible reach the peak.

Climb Africa's highest mountain with our expert team and make your dream a reality

• Tours & Routes

• What to Expect

For many, reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is a lifelong dream. Be it the unique experience of trekking through intriguing and varied landscapes to scale Africa’s highest mountain. Or be it Kilimanjaro’s acclaim as one of the most picturesque treks on the planet. Without a doubt, the panoramic views of Kenya and Tanzania from atop the world’s tallest freestanding mountain are simply spectacular.

The best part is that you don’t have to be an experienced mountaineer to reach the peak. Physical fitness and determination are vital to completing this challenging trek. However, there are routes to suit all ability levels, and we can help you choose the perfect route. Moreover, our mountain team, whose prime concern is your safety, will help you throughout the trek. They will not only guide you to the top but also ensure that you return safe and sound.

Kilimanjaro private treks vs group treks

On Kilimanjaro trekking tours, you can choose between doing a private climb or joining other travellers on a group climb. The advantage of a private trek is that you can choose your desired dates and trekking companions. If you are climbing with a group of friends or individuals from a club or charity, you can share some of the cost between all participants and thus save some money.

Alternatively, if you are a solo climber or a couple, you can join a scheduled group trek limited to ten trekkers.

A mountain guide will lead the way. Porters will carry all the equipment and set up the camp before you arrive. Finally, our incredible cooks will prepare three delicious meals a day. At night, you will stay in shared huts on the Marangu route, or private two-person tents on the remaining three routes.

Kilimanjaro Routes

We specialise in treks on the following four routes on Mount Kilimanjaro.

You can complete the:

• Eastern Marangu route on a private or scheduled group trek in six days.
• Northern Rongai route only on a private trek in six days.
• Southern Machame route on a private or scheduled group trek in six days (7 days, including one acclimatisation day).
• Western Lemosho route on a private or scheduled group trek in seven days (8 days, including one acclimatisation day).

If you would like to discuss other options, just get in touch!

Optional acclimatisation day

Adding an extra night to your trek can increase your chances of reaching the summit on the Machame and Lemosho routes. Experienced mountaineers follow a strategy of “climbing high, sleeping low” to acclimatise to high altitudes. Therefore, during an acclimatisation day, your group will hike to a high elevation and then descend several hundred meters before nightfall to spend the night. This allows your body more time to adjust to the altitude.

MOUNTAIN HUTS AND PRIVATE TENTS

Various accommodation options are available in the towns south of Mount Kilimanjaro, ranging from hotels to guest houses. Depending on your chosen route, there are two types of accommodation during the trek.

Shared Huts

On the eastern Marangu route, you will stay in shared wooden huts that accommodate four to six people. A bed in a hut cannot be booked in advance. Instead, a first come, first serve system allows early arrivals to select their preferred hut. The huts have electric lights, mattresses, and basic toilets but no heating. Each camp on this route also has a main building where meals are served.

Private Tents

If you decide to embark on the Machame, Lemosho, or Rongai routes, we offer the convenience of a high-quality two-person mountain tent and sleeping mattress for your private use. Additionally, you can rent a warm sleeping bag from us with a temperature rating of -12°C or bring your own.

Showers and toilets

During group treks, very basic public toilets are available to use. For private treks, we set up a mobile toilet tent at each campsite specifically for your convenience. There are no showers available on any of the routes. However, our team will prepare warm water in a bowl for a wash for private and group treks.

One of the most scenic campsites: The Barranco Camp on Mt Kilimanjaro.

On most Kilimanjaro treks, you will sleep in two-person mountain tents.

On the Marangu Route, you sleep in shared mountain huts.

Sanitation facilities are very basic, but you will have warm water to wash.

Meals are served in a mess tent, protected from the elements.

Before every trek, our Trekking Operations Manager gives you an extensive briefing regarding the route, safety procedures, and health issues.  You will have an opportunity to ask any questions that you have. Next, he will inspect the quality of your trekking gear to ensure your safety and comfort on the mountain. If you need any additional equipment, you can rent it from us.

During the trek, you carry a small backpack with essentials such as water for the day’s hike. Our porters will carry all the equipment, food, and additional luggage to set up the camp before you arrive. They are tough climbers and the true heroes of the mountain.

Our mountain guides will lead the way and are responsible for your safety. They have trekked Kilimanjaro hundreds of times and receive regular training. They will encourage you throughout the trek. They continually assess the weather and the condition of the trekkers. When extreme weather or altitude sickness or injury occurs, they will call the climb off if necessary.

Our cooks are miracle workers. With simple gas cookers, they conjure up 3-course feasts, hot drinks, and snacks to nourish you when you need it most. Our mountain crew fetches drinking water from mountain streams and boils it before you drink it.

Our porters pitch and take down the two-person tents you use. This leaves you to concentrate on getting to the top. Our camping gear is inspected and cleaned regularly.

Which routes can I take on Mt Kilimanjaro?

We offer four different routes to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro.

The Marangu route on the mountain’s eastern shoulder is one of the easiest ascents. It is the only route with overnight accommodation provided in shared huts.

The Rongai route starts from the north side of the mountain. Having reached the summit, the trek descends using the Marangu route. It is considered one of the easier trails, offering spectacular views and fewer climbers.

The Machame route, located on the mountain’s southern side, is known for its steep sections and longer daily treks. Although it is more challenging than the previous two routes, it is popular due to its incredible views of Kilimanjaro’s three peaks. Having reached the summit, the descent follows the Mweka Route.

The Lemosho route is a less commonly used trail that goes up the western side of Mount Kilimanjaro. On the third day, this trek joins the Machame route to arrive at the summit. It is equally challenging as the Machame route.

What does a typical day on Mt Kilimanjaro look like?

On day one, following breakfast, we will drive you to the entrance of Kilimanjaro National Park, where your guide will take care of the registration forms and park fees. Soon after, you will begin trekking through a lush forest to reach your first campsite five to six hours later. Here, you will enjoy a delicious evening meal as you wind down to spend your first night on this captivating mountain.

Each subsequent day starts with a hearty breakfast to fuel up on energy for the big climb ahead. Shortly afterwards, you start trekking. You will stop midway to rest and enjoy lunch with a view before continuing onwards and upwards to the next campsite. For the next two to three days, you continue this routine of climbing the mountain for five to seven hours per day.

During summit night, you’ll set off at midnight. Ahead of you is a five to six-hour final ascent so that you can arrive in time to witness dawn breaking on top of Africa’s highest mountain. Having taken in the breathtaking sunrise and summit views, you will descend the mountain for another five to six hours of trekking. This will be the longest day on the mountain but likely the most memorable.

On the final day, you’ll enjoy your last mountain breakfast, followed by a traditional farewell ceremony where you can thank your mountain team. After the final descent, we will drive you to your lodge to relax and celebrate your achievements.

When is the best time to climb Mt Kilimanjaro?

The best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is during the dry season, from July to October. This period offers the best weather conditions and minimises the risk of cloud cover obstructing the view. However, it is essential to note that the weather can change quickly, and one may experience four seasons in a day. Temperatures drop significantly in the evenings and mornings, and frosts are common, so packing warm clothes is essential.

Tanzania experiences two rainy seasons, namely the long rains from late March to mid-May and the short rains, which occur less predictably between November and December.

The peak season for climbing the mountain is from July to October, and it can get quite busy. However, the shoulder seasons, which occur from the end of May to the end of June and from December to mid-May, are also great options with good weather and fewer trekkers on the mountain. Moreover, the shoulder season is a great time to combine a trek with a safari.

It is worth noting that trekking the mountain may not be possible due to unsafe weather conditions in April, May, and November.

How fit do I need to be to climb Kili?

Reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro does not require technical climbing skills, but it remains a challenging feat that requires good health and physical fitness. You should be able to trek for five to seven hours daily. You should also have enough reserve to hike for twelve to fourteen hours on the summit ascent and descent day. Having the determination and fortitude to make it to the top is also essential. Altitude sickness may be an issue for some, but adding an extra acclimatisation day to your itinerary will improve your chances of success.

Other things to know before you go

Combine a trek, safari and beach retreat.

Many people decide to trek Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a safari, whilst others prefer to trek Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a beach retreat. Speak to our team for to get suggestions for a package.

Planning guides

After booking your trek with us, we will send you pre-departure information to assist you in planning your Mount Kilimanjaro trek. The comprehensive packing list is one of the most crucial resources.

Tipping the mountain crew

Our team of mountain guides is exceptional, and they will play a significant role in helping you to reach the summit. Additionally, you’ll be impressed by the hard work and dedication of the porters, cooks, and waiters, who go above and beyond to ensure you have the best possible experience on your trek. It is customary to tip the mountain crews. If you think they did a good job and you would like to thank them with a tip, it will be gratefully received. We will provide instructions on how much to tip, how to do it, and when.

Emergency services

The mountain rescue services in Tanzania are less advanced than those in Europe. If an accident occurs, the injured person will be transported on a wheeled stretcher off the mountain, as helicopters cannot land at higher altitudes. It is crucial to obtain comprehensive travel insurance that includes rescue and repatriation coverage.

Age restrictions

Children below ten can only hike up to Shira Camp but no further. Since children are more susceptible to altitude sickness than adults, we suggest a minimum age limit of fourteen to sixteen, and a parent should accompany them. There are no age limits for older trekkers, but it is recommended that those over sixty should undergo a comprehensive medical check-up before attempting to climb the mountain.

I really want to recommend everybody Kilimanjaro climb with Tanzania-Experience! Excellent service – very good food, very kind guides, reliable porters. This all made our trip much easier and we have fully enjoyed it !

What Makes Our Kilimanjaro Climb Special?

• Our stunning Northern Circuit Route is the best route on Kili, away from crowded trails, with no retracing of steps, and traversing the most magnificent glacier scenery
• Maximum acclimatization (the key to a successful climb) with a full 7 days on the ascent. We have a 98% summit success rate!
• On summit day, enjoy a spectacular and short 2-hour ascent, avoiding the grueling 9-hour ascent required on other routes
• The finest full-service camps on the mountain, with delicious and nutritious food and full porter support
• Our legendary Trip Leaders —the most experienced on the mountain and all certified Wilderness First Responders (WFR)

Everything You Need to Know

We consider the Northern Circuit Route the best route to the summit. Why? It is the most scenic and least-traveled route up Kilimanjaro. With a full seven days on the ascent, this route also provides maximum time for acclimatization and therefore the greatest chance of reaching to top—we have a 98% summit success rate!

We give a detailed summary all the different climbing options on Kilimanjaro, and explain the difference between each.

As with most mountain areas, the weather on Kilimanjaro can change abruptly so you need to be ready for these sudden changes. Kilimanjaro was described by NOVA as “a world in miniature” where you can “journey from dry fields and farms into steaming jungles, then up through exotic heaths and moorlands to an alpine desert and finally a glaciated summit.”

The snow line usually begins at 17,000′ or 18,000′, but a sudden storm may bring it as low as 14,000′. Daytime temperatures range from the 50s to the 70sºF at altitudes from 7,500′, where we start the climb, to about 12,000′. Above this altitude, daytime temperatures are lower, ranging from the high teens to low 40s, and evening temperatures can drop to 10ºF or even lower.

With any hiking adventure, it’s important to be adequately prepared both mentally and physically. If possible, start training several months before departure. Increasing your cardio routine will improve your stamina on the mountain. Activities like hiking, running, using a StairMaster, or bike-riding are great choices and, when combined, can really help boost your fitness levels. Increase your strength and endurance with weight and resistance workouts. Hiking with a 10-20 pound daypack is the most beneficial activity.

We have designed our 9-day climb route with successful acclimatization in mind. The summit of Kilimanjaro, at 19,341 feet, is considered extreme high altitude. As you climb the mountain, the air becomes less compressed and contains fewer molecules of oxygen per breath. At the summit of Kilimanjaro, there is 50% of the air pressure there is at sea level. You will greatly improve your safety and enjoyment of the climb if you:

• Make your best efforts to arrive physically fit and gear up with the appropriate clothing.
• Keep well hydrated throughout your time on the mountain (Drink. Drink. Drink! You need 4-5 liters of water per day to counteract the effects of altitude!).
• Maintain your energy by eating the good meals we will prepare for you.
• Hike at a pace slow enough such that you can maintain it for hours a time (you want to avoid “racing and resting”).
• Be aware of the symptoms of AMS (your Trip Leader will also review them with you).
• It is highly recommended that you request a prescription for Diamox (Acetazolamide) from your physician.

Wilderness Travel offers full-service camping on Kilimanjaro. Most trip members are pleasantly surprised by the comfort of our mountain camps considering we’re on a high altitude expedition! We use three-person tents for only two people, ensuring a fair amount of space for sleeping. We serve meals in a large solar-lit dining tent with table and chairs with back support. The dining tent is a nice place to relax and socialize while drinking tea or coffee in the evening. Our mountain staff is highly trained and will take care of all the logistics so you can relax and enjoy the climb.

You’ll be climbing the highest peak in Africa—the food that fuels you is an essential ingredient in your summit success. Meals should be high in calories with the proper balance of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to help sustain your increased level of exertion. We’ve designed our menus to include the right nutrition to keep you going on the climb, with three hearty meals a day, plus tasty trail snacks—the simple sugars in these are helpful in providing a boost of energy to keep you going. We provide a sample menu and further details below!

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a rigorous, but non-technical, hike that goes to high altitudes. All travel in the mountains involves inherent dangers, which can never be totally controlled. With that said, seeing to your safety is our primary concern. See below for the steps we take, the equipment we bring, and the rigorous training we put all our guides through to ensure your safety on the mountain.

Experience Kilimanjaro

Ethical Treatment of Porters

For a group of 10 climbers, we typically have a crew of 55 or more porters! We are one of the few companies to provide full medical coverage and workers’ compensation for all staff members, and strictly ensure no crew member has to carry more than 42 pounds on any day. Many of our standards regarding salaries, training, and overall welfare of porters have been adopted by the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP, which monitors standards for porter wages, load weight limits, medical care, and appropriate attire) as their example of ideal industry standards.

REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Wilderness Travel’s route up Kilimanjaro was far better and more interesting than the major highways used by most trekkers. We were the only group at many campsites and felt like we were the only people on that magnificent mountain.

Wow. I was blown away by the quality of the food and lodging during the Kilimanjaro expedition. This was due to the very hard work of the many experienced, talented, and excellent porters and staff members who accompanied us on the mountain. The head cooks, in particular, went above and beyond in crafting healthy, delicious menus that sustained us on our journey.

A trip of a lifetime that far exceeded my expectations. The route was truly spectacular, which we appreciated more on our descent and saw what other climbers experienced on their way to the summit. We could not have asked for better guides, who provided individual attention to each climber to give them what they needed and to ensure all were successful in reaching the summit. Unforgettable memories!

It was an indescribable, life-affirming experience that I will always cherish. In particular, I wanted to commend your selection of Trip Leaders. Their skill, thoughtfulness, and dedication made the entire trip seem effortless even though the challenge was great.

An outstanding itinerary, giving us time not only to acclimatize but also to enjoy the many wonders of the mountain, which go well beyond just the summit (spectacular as that is).

Perfect is the only way to describe my experience with your company. Our Trip Leader was a real gem, and the hotels, porters, tents, food—wow! Thanks for a great trip.

Kilimanjaro Meaning – Meaning of the word “Kilimanjaro”

The question mostly asked but has never gotten a good answer is the origin of the name “Kilimanjaro” . It is believed that the Kilimanjaro name has roots in Swahili, Chagga and Masai languages.

There has been however no conclusive research to ascertain this claim.

The Nuttall Encyclopaedia was the first official document in the year 1907 to refer this mountain by then as the Kilima-Njaro.

There is no clear origin of this name but from the time the Europeans started exploring the Kilimanjaro in the 1860s, the mountain adopted this names somehow.

In 1885, Jim Thompson claimed that Kilima-Njaro that the locals believed that this name was interpreted as the mountain of glory (kilima) (njaro).

“Njaro” in one Kiswahili dialect means shining which is asserted that it was to refer to the snow on the top of this mountain.

There are a group people that claim the word “kilima” means mountain in Kiswahili. However the actual word means “hill”. “Mlima” is the actual word to mean mountain in Kiswahili.

The Chagga people who are the natives of the area are credited for naming the Kibo and Mawenzi peaks of the Kilimanjaro.
