Climb Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro is the world’s tallest free standing mountain at 5895m, and climbing up it represents the ultimate challenge – the perfect addition to any tailor-made luxury Tanzania trip, Kilimanjaro can be conquered in an average of 5 – 9 nights. The Luxury Safari Company uses a high-end Kilimanjaro ground handler to operate seamless and safe private Kilimanjaro climbs. See an outline of routes up Kilimanjaro below:

Shira Route: camping: 9 – 10 days: Fantastic route climbing from the West covering the caldera of the Shira volcano, and the rocky formations of Kilimanjaro.

Machame: camping: 6 – 7 nights: This is the second most popular route and offers a good amount of time for acclimatization, scenically stunning.

Marangu: basic huts: 5 – 6 nights: This is the most popular route by far, and offers plenty of time to acclimatize. Gentle gradients and moorland.

Rongai: camping: 6 nights: Rongai is remote and far less frequented than other routes – Rongai offers the wildest and most dramatic scenery.

Lemosho: camping: 7-8 nights: It is a long drive to reach Lemosho, but the route is less frequented and stunning, with beautiful forests, and scenic walking.

Umbwe: camping: 6 – 7 nights: Umbwe is the most dangerous route, and is very physically taxing, with some serious endurance required. If you do have success here, you will be rewarded ten fold by the incredible scenery and spectacular ridges.
