8 DAYS LEMOSHO ROUTE
The Lemosho Route is widely considered to be the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Not too long ago, there were only two main routes used to climb Kilimanjaro – the Marangu (Coca Cola) route and the Machame (Whiskey) route.
7 DAYS MARANGU ROUTE
The Marangu Route, also known as the “Coca-Cola Route” or “Tourist Route”, is the oldest on Mt Kilimanjaro and is also one of the most popular – mainly because it is the only route on the mountain that has hut accommodation for hikers.
6 DAYS UMBWE ROUTE
The Umbwe route is one of the shortest routes to the Southern Glaciers and the Western Breach and its the most challenging route on Mt Kilimanjaro. Approaching from the south, the Umbwe route is a short, steep and direct climb.
7 DAYS MACHAME ROUTE
The Machame route is nicknamed the ‘Whiskey Route’ as it is considered more difficult than the ‘Coca Cola Route’, the nickname for the Marangu route. In reality, it is not more technically difficult, but is longer and in places steeper.
