MOUNT KILIMANJARO

Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest and most massive mountain, at 19,341 feet. It is one of the most useful mountains in the world, and its loftiness and immensity are only a hint of its importance. The routes are Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Shira, Rongai, Northern Circuit, and Umbwe, and hiking takes between five and nine days to reach the summit and descend to the base camp.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a test of endurance and celebration of the human spirit, and is part of the Eastern Rift Mountains just south of the equator. It is Africa’s tallest mountain and the highest freestanding mountain in the world, and can be done in six or eight days. Climbing the 5,895m summit is a thrilling experience, and requires a certain level of fitness and preparation. The trip begins in the lush rainforest of the lower slopes, where animal and plant life is abundant.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a relatively new route that offers a more immersive and meaningful experience with a high success rate. Travelers can complete the trek in six days or stretch it to eight, which gives them a better chance of acclimatizing to the altitude. The route begins in the rainforest zone at the western base of the mountain at Londorossi Gate and heads across the Shira Plateau before following the Southern Circuit halfway around the mountain. The approach to the summit is made from the east, and the descent follows the Mweka trail.

The Lemosho Route at a Glance is Approximately 70 km from gate to gate and is designed for physically fit people with some hiking experience.

The Marangu Route is approximately 73 km from gate to gate, the only route that starts from the northern side and offers a relatively unsplit wilderness experience with views of large wildlife such as antelope, elephant and buffalo, as well as colobus monkeys and many species of birds. The finish of the summit from Kibo Hut is steep and follows the same path taken by Marangu trekkers, passing Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak. Descent is via the Marangu trail and can be done in six, seven or eight days.

What is the weather like on Mount Kilimanjaro?

Mount Kilimanjaro has a varied weather system that can vary from hot to cold depending on the altitude and time of day. The average temperature at the base is 21-27°C and the night time temperatures can range from 20-20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7-29 degrees Celsius). Hikers need to be prepared for warm, sunny conditions, rain, wind, cold, and snow.
