Climbing Kilimanjaro attracts thousands of climbers every year to Mt Kilimanjaro — the Roof of Africa. Located in Tanzania, it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). The Kilimanjaro climb has been popular among hikers since it is one of the 7 summits that do not require advanced climbing skills.
Mount Kilimanjaro is located within Kilimanjaro National Park allowing climbers to spot wildlife — primarily on the first day of your Kilimanjaro trek. Although climbing Kilimanjaro is challenging with one of the most rapid accents, with the right level of training and preparation, it can be conquered safely by every category of climbers. The routes though have excellent acclimatization profiles making it one of the easier climbs as compared to other high-altitude treks.
There are seven main Kilimanjaro routes — the Machame Route, the Marangu Route, the Rongai Route, the Lemosho Route, the Shira Route, The Northern Circuit, and the Umbwe route. There is also the Western Breach, an advanced and technically challenging route meant for experienced trekkers only. Not all companies offer this route to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. The eighth Kilimanjaro route, Mweka, is used for decent only. There are two key things to consider when selecting a route on Kilimanjaro:
- Make sure that the route duration is long enough for adequate acclimatization. Five-day routes are too rapid. Seven or eight-day climbs increase the success rate of summiting Kilimanjaro and six-day treks are an affordable alternative if you are fit and have some experience of high altitude trekking.
- Make sure the route provides a climb high, sleep low option. Again, this is a major factor in many climbers’ success on Kilimanjaro.
