Kilimanjaro is a walk, not a technical climb, but it is a serious one: Uhuru Peak stands at 5,895 metres and altitude, not fitness, is what turns most people back.

Route choice matters more than anything else. Marangu is the only route with huts and the shortest profile, which also makes it among the least successful for summiting. Machame and Lemosho climb higher and sleep lower, which acclimatises you far better — and every extra night on the mountain measurably improves your chances.
All our climbs use registered guides and porters, with crew welfare handled to the standards the park requires. Accommodation on the mountain is set by the route; the service tier mainly changes the hotel before and after, the support ratio and the equipment.

Explore journeyMachame and Lemosho acclimatise you better than Marangu because they climb high and sleep low, and they have correspondingly better summit rates. Marangu is the only route with huts rather than tents. More days on the mountain improves your chances on any route.
No. The standard routes are walks, with no ropes or technical sections. What they demand is several consecutive long days on foot and a tolerance for altitude, which is what turns most people back.
Mainly the hotel before and after the climb, the support ratio and the equipment. Nights on the mountain are in the huts or camps the route allows, whichever tier you book.
Yes. Any itinerary we operate can be run for your own party in a private 4x4 Land Cruiser, including journeys otherwise sold as group-joining departures. A private departure is quoted separately from the listed price.
No. Properties are suggested for fit and current operation and confirmed on your written quotation. If one is unavailable for your dates we will propose a comparable property rather than substitute something lesser without telling you.
