Kilimanjaro Charity Climb 2024 / 2025

At 5,895 meters above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro, or simply ‘Kili,’ as it is affectionately known, is the highest peak in Africa and one of the seven summits, the highest peaks on each of the seven continents.

Kilimanjaro Climb

Situated in Tanzania, Kilimanjaro is one of the most accessible high peaks, attracting thousands of climbers from around the globe each year. 

The mountain’s unique geography offers climbers a trek through five distinct ecological zones, from the tropical rainforest at the base, through the alpine desert, to Arctic conditions at the summit.  

The climb, while physically demanding, doesn’t require technical mountaineering skills. But preparation and acclimatization are key to a successful ascent. 

Thus, the Kilimanjaro Climb presents a formidable yet achievable challenge, a soul-stirring adventure that tests limits, fosters camaraderie, and offers an incomparable sense of achievement. 

LEMOSHO ROUTE

An increasingly popular Kilimanjaro Climbing Route due to its panoramic views on the western side and high success rates. The journey typically spans a duration of seven to eight days for completion.

MACHAME ROUTE

Known as the "Whiskey Route" because it's more difficult than the "Coca-Cola" Marangu route. It offers stunning views and takes six to seven days.

MARANGU ROUTE

This is the only route with hut accommodation and is often considered the easiest path up the mountain, hence the nickname "Coca Cola" Route. It typically takes five to six days to accomplish the task of Climbing Kilimanjaro.

SHIRA ROUTE

This is a beautiful but less common route due to its higher starting point. It is often merged with the Lemosho route, and it takes seven to eight days.

UMBWE ROUTE

This is the most challenging route up Kilimanjaro due to its steep, direct path. It is suitable for experienced trekkers and takes six to seven days.

RONGAI ROUTE

The Rongai route is unique as it's the sole path that reaches Kilimanjaro from the northern side, adjacent to the frontier with Kenya. It's a quieter route with a high success rate and takes six to seven days.
