Kilimanjaro Climbing Routes

Mount Kilimanjaro offers several climbing routes, each with its own characteristics, scenery, and difficulty level. 

Marangu Route (Coca-Cola Route):

Known as the “Coca-Cola Route” due to its popularity and relative simplicity, the Marangu Route is often chosen by novice climbers. It features hut accommodations instead of tents, making it one of the more comfortable options. However, it is also one of the busiest routes, and its gradual ascent may not allow for proper acclimatization for some climbers.

Machame Route (Whiskey Route):

The Machame Route, also known as the “Whiskey Route,” is one of the most scenic routes up Kilimanjaro. It offers diverse landscapes, including lush rainforests, moorlands, and alpine deserts. The ascent is steeper than the Marangu Route, and camping is required. This route is popular among experienced trekkers seeking a more challenging climb.

Lemosho Route:

The Lemosho Route is known for its scenic beauty and relatively low traffic compared to other routes. It provides ample time for acclimatization and offers panoramic views of Kilimanjaro’s western slopes. The route typically takes longer than other options, making it a good choice for climbers who prefer a more gradual ascent.

Rongai Route:

The Rongai Route approaches Kilimanjaro from the north and is one of the least crowded routes. It offers a more remote and less-traveled experience, with varied terrain and stunning views. The ascent is gradual, and the route is suitable for climbers of all skill levels.

Northern Circuit Route:

The Northern Circuit Route is the longest route on Kilimanjaro and offers the highest success rates due to its excellent acclimatization profile. It traverses the northern slopes of the mountain, offering panoramic views and diverse landscapes. The route is less crowded but requires more time and is generally more expensive due to its length.
