DISCOVER KILIMANJARO 

THE ROOF OF AFRICA

Mount Kilimanjaro, the “Roof of Africa,” is the highest peak on the continent at 5,895m (19,341ft) above sea level. Located in northern Tanzania, Kilimanjaro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most iconic trekking destinations. Unlike many mountains, no technical climbing is required making it possible for adventure seekers from all walks of life to stand at its summit, Uhuru Peak.

A Kilimanjaro trek is not just about reaching the top; it’s a journey through five distinct climate zones, from lush rainforest to arctic glaciers, with breathtaking scenery and wildlife along the way.

  • Climbing Kilimanjaro isn’t just about reaching the summit it’s about enjoying the journey,

    at your pace, on your terms.

    That’s why we take the time to match you with the route that fits you best your fitness

    you’re a first-time trekker looking for a scenic and steady climb, or an experienced

    adventurer craving a challenge off the beaten path, we’ve got the right trail for you.

  • Your Climb, Led by Experts Who’ve Been There Again and Again

    Anyone can walk with you up a trail but a true expert guide does so much more.

    Our Kilimanjaro guides are seasoned professionals who know the mountain like the back of

    their hand. Most have summited hundreds of times, in all conditions, with trekkers from all

    walks of life. But more importantly they know how to read you. Your pace. Your breath. Your

    energy.

    They’re trained in high-altitude safety, wilderness first aid, and daily health monitoring. But

    they’re also storytellers, motivators, problem-solvers, and your biggest cheerleaders when the

    climb gets tough.

    They’ll tell you when to rest, when to hydrate, when to push and they’ll quietly celebrate

    every milestone with you, from the first step to the summit sunrise.

    With an expert guide, you’re not just following someone.

    You’re being led by someone who’s fully committed to your safety, your success, and your

    story.

    Because on Kilimanjaro, experience isn’t a bonus it’s everything.

  • At high altitudes, even the most prepared climbers can face unexpected challenges and

    that’s where our experience truly sets us apart.

    We believe that a great adventure doesn't compromise on safety. That’s why our team is

    trained and equipped to provide immediate response and timely evacuation should any

    emergency arise on the mountain.

    Whether it's altitude sickness, fatigue, sudden weather shifts, or an injury, we act fast not

    just react. Our guides carry pulse oximeters and first aid kits, conduct daily health checks, and

    know exactly when to slow down, rest, or activate an evacuation plan. In serious cases, our

    rescue protocol includes coordination with Kilimanjaro Search & Rescue (SAR), which deploys

    helicopter evacuation from designated altitudes when needed.

Best Time to Trek Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed year-round, but the experience varies with the seasons. Weather and trail conditions play a big role in your trek.

  • January – March (Dry Season)
    These months are characterized by clear skies, crisp mornings, and quieter trails compared to the main peak season. Nights are colder and summit conditions can be icy, but the stunning visibility makes it worthwhile. Perfect for trekkers who prefer fewer crowds and don’t mind cooler temperatures.

  • June – October (Peak Trekking Season)
    The most popular period to climb Kilimanjaro. The weather is generally dry, sunny, and stable, with excellent visibility and pleasant daytime temperatures. Trails are busier, especially from July to September, but this is also when summit success rates are highest due to favorable conditions.

  • November (Short Rains)
    Expect short but heavy bursts of rain, especially in the afternoons. Trails are quieter, and the mountain scenery is lush and green. This season is suitable for trekkers who want solitude, but wet and slippery paths make it more challenging.

  • April – May (Long Rains)
    This is the least popular trekking period due to heavy rainfall. Trails can be muddy, and summit conditions are unpredictable. However, if you don’t mind the challenge, you’ll enjoy complete solitude and dramatic cloud formations. The Rongai Route (drier on the northern side) is often recommended during this season.

Popular Kilimanjaro Routes

  • The oldest and most established trail on Kilimanjaro. It is the only route with hut accommodations (shared dormitory-style), making it a good choice for those who prefer not to camp. The trek is shorter but has lower summit success rates due to less acclimatization time.

    • Difficulty: Moderate (less strenuous, but higher risk of altitude sickness)

  • The most popular route, known for its beautiful scenery and diverse landscapes. It is more physically demanding, with steeper climbs and longer days, but has a high success rate thanks to better acclimatization. Ideal for adventurous trekkers seeking a balance of challenge and reward.

    • Difficulty: Challenging (steep climbs and long days, but manageable with fitness).

  • A favorite for its remote start and panoramic views, the Lemosho route offers excellent acclimatization with gradual altitude gain. Less crowded than Machame, it joins the same trail higher up the mountain. Highly recommended for those with time and looking for both beauty and higher summit chances.

    • Difficulty: Moderate to Challenging (longer trek but gradual ascent helps acclimatization).

  • Starting near the Kenyan border, this route is quieter, drier, and less traveled. It is an excellent choice during the rainy season and offers a different perspective of the mountain. While not as scenic as Machame or Lemosho, it is less physically demanding.

    • Difficulty: Moderate (easier terrain, but fewer acclimatization opportunities).

    • The newest official route, circling around the northern slopes of Kilimanjaro. With the most gradual ascent and fewest climbers, it offers the highest summit success rate of all routes. Ideal for trekkers who want time to adjust to altitude and enjoy a more remote wilderness experience.

      • Difficulty: Moderate to Challenging (long duration, but excellent acclimatization).

Climbing Kilimanjaro means preparing for five different climate zones, from tropical rainforest to arctic summit conditions. Packing the right gear ensures comfort, safety, and summit success.
