Exploring Mount Kilimanjaro - Climbing, Trekking, and Hiking in Tanzania
The mountain's perfectly shaped, snow-capped volcano, rising to 5895m, offers various climbing routes. The Machame, Marangu, Lemosho, Rongai, and Umbwe routes lead through forest and moorland areas, converging on the south circuit path between 3500m and 4500m. The final ascent to the summit involves walking, scrambling, and, for technical climbers, several trails like Rebman glacier, Decken glacier, or Heim glacier. The climb typically starts at Kibo hut around 2:00 am, reaching the summit before dawn to witness the sunrise and gaze across the vast African bush land from the "Roof of Africa."
There are seven established routes to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak, with one starting on the Northern side and the remaining six on the Southern side: Northern Circuit Route, Lemosho Route, Shira Route, Machame Route (“Whiskey” Route), Rongai Route, Marangu Route (“Coca-Cola” Route) and Umbwe Route.
