So, you want to climb Kilimanjaro?

But which route should you take...

If you have limited mountaineering experience and want too ease into the process by taking on one of the less challenging routes, you'll be better off with Rongai, Machame or Marangu.

For those who like a more demanding mountain climb, there is North Flank or Umbwe.

Even more severe and dangerous is Western Breach. This route is only for those with advanced technical experience. Even the most talented climbers are unable to climb this route without a qualified technical guide and the right equipment.

Most of the climbs offer beautiful scenic views and even have the chance to view wildlife. A few of these include: Rongai, Lemosho, Shira, Machame and Marangu.

Finally, for a chance to the entirety of Mount Kilimanjaro, including wildlife on the mountain itself and introducing an element of risk in the remote parts of the mountain side, there is the longest route - Circuit Climb.
