Which route should you choose for your Kilimanjaro climb?
With Kilimanjaro, there are five ways to the top! As your mountain expert, Easy Travel will help you choose from the route available to get you to the summit.
6 Days Marangu Route
Marangu, being the oldest of the routes to the summit, is also known as the “Coca Cola” Route and like the famous soft drink, it is certainly popular, representing a good choice for reaching the summit. It is perceived as being the easiest route up Kilimanjaro, but do remember that everything is relative – this is still a tough physical challenge.
7 Days Machame Route
Although it is considered to be more difficult than the Marangu, the Machame or “Whiskey” Route is actually now the most popular way up Kilimanjaro. Compared with Marangu (the next most popular route) the walking stage are actually longer and steeper, so it is perhaps favoured by those more used to hiking.
8 Days Lemosho Route
Eight days on the mountain itself give adventurers who choose the Lemosho Route good time in which to acclimatize. And those who climb via Lemosho will also have a more remote experience, as there is less traffic than is found on either of the popular Marangu or Machame routes, though eventually we do join up with the latter before we take on our summit attempt.
