Kilimanjaro, on foot.
Two six-trekking-day route outlines. Hotel, transfer, meal, crew, fee and equipment arrangements must be confirmed before either route is quoted.
Before you book
High altitude can affect fit travellers too.
Uhuru Peak is 5,895 m. Medical guidance is clear that physical fitness does not predict altitude- illness risk, although the trek itself remains physically demanding. Gradual ascent and time to acclimatise matter, symptoms must be reported, and no summit outcome can be guaranteed.
The current outlines allocate six mountain days. Marangu shows an additional Horombo day; Machame shows a climb toward Lava Tower followed by a lower sleep at Barranco. Those are route patterns, not evidence that one route has a guaranteed or superior success rate.
Exact start times, turnaround decisions, route difficulty, equipment and emergency arrangements are set by the confirmed licensed mountain operator and guide for the conditions and traveller.
Routes
Two ways up.
6 Day Kilimanjaro Trek — Marangu Route, with 2 Hotel Nights
Marangu's hut-based six-day route, shown within an eight-day outline that requires current operator confirmation.
6 Day Kilimanjaro Trek — Machame Route, with 2 Hotel Nights
A six-day Machame route outline using designated camps, with an ascent via Lava Tower and Barranco and a descent via Mweka.
Combining
A safari either side.
The current product outlines place hotel nights in Arusha and show Kilimanjaro International Airport transfers, but those are not yet verified operating commitments. A safari combination is planned only after the hotel base, transfers and mountain itinerary are confirmed.
