Mount Kilimanjaro

I took the Machame route to the top and we were rained on every day. This hike is very doable but it is tough on the body. Once you reach the summit any pain goes away and you are left one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment you will ever have. Awesome place!

perhaps spring in 2009

Kilimanjaro provides the opportunity to reach the highest point on the African continent without mountaineering skills. Anyone that is in good shape and willing to train a little beforehand will enjoy a wonderful challenge, and relish the sense of accomplishment when standing at Uhuru peak, gazing down upon all of Africa below you. I recommend and encourage everyone to experience this as soon as they can.

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, the highest ‘walkable’ mountain in the world, a magnificent and spectacular undertaking.

We are the leading provider of high quality treks on the Kilimanjaro, with over 15,000 past customers, a summit success rate of 87% and an exemplary safety record. Find out more in the details pages for each route.

Trekkers absolutely confident in their fitness and willing to spend longer on the mountain to increase the chances of summit success should start by taking a look at the Shira route.

Trekkers who are less than absolutely confident about their fitness, or who are pressed for time should start with the Rongai route.
