Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain at 5,891 metres. It has three volcanic peaks Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira. It is a spectacular hike for all abilities, and it takes 6 to 8 days to climb, adjusting to the altitude. On the way up you pass the forests, moorlands, the desert and the glacier with their specific varieties of flora and fauna. But once you reach the summit with its breathtaking views you will feel - well on top of the world
Hi Faustin
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks to Kili-Expedition for making the climb of the Kilimanjaro such a wonderful experience. It all started with some friends daydreaming about this adventure and after much discussion and web search, we found a site that recommended Kili-Expedition for its superior service… They were right!
Upon our arrival at the Kilimanjaro airport, Faustin, our guide, was awaiting to take us to a once in a lifetime experience. Everything had been taken care of; hotels, transfers, meals as well as the climb of the Kilimanjaro .There were also opportunities for a safari and a visit of Arusha.
We had nothing to worry about, but enjoying this adventure.
We were very pleased with the quality of the service, support (and the hot meals) that we received from everyone involved during the climb.
The climb is not always easy. We were looking for an experienced guide, and we could not have found better. With over 350 climbs, Faustin definitely helped us reach our goal: THANK YOU!
I would strongly recommend Kili-Expedition to anyone wishing to achieve this peak successfully and safely.
Merci Faustin !

To choose the right Kilimanjaro Climb route for you, there are plenty of variables to be mindful of.
ReplyDelete• Who: Who is climbing? The whole group's abilities must be factored into choosing a route. The rest of the party is relying on your decision. Pick a route that best fits everyone.
• What: What limitations surround your climb? Are you bound by a budget? Or the number of days on your trip? There are cheap/expensive routes, and short/long itineraries.
• How: How do you see your trek? Do you want the most challenging route or a less strenuous one? These answers will affect which route is for you.
• Where: Where do you want to begin your climb? The routes start from all sides of the mountain. Where you begin affects cost, scenery and scenic variety.
• Why: Why are you climbing? Is it very important to summit? Then choose a route with a high success rate. Do you want to take the best photos? Then pick the most scenic route.
• When: If you are climbing during the dry season, great. But if you are climbing during the rainy season or the shoulder seasons, then the route you select can play into the climb's difficulty.
So Which is the best route to use to climb up kilimanjaro? Lemosho Route and Rongai Route are the most scenic routes up kilimanjaro. Mt Kilimanjaro Machame route is also a scenic and very popular route with many climbers.
The Marangu Route Climb is however the most used route since it has the advantage of sleeping in huts with bunker beds, hot showers, beverages and beers in the evenings are also available. Marangu is also the shorter route and can be done in 5 days although an extra day for acclimatisation is recommended.
