Climb Kilimanjaro
Six routes to the roof of Africa — Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Rongai, Umbwe and the Northern Circuit — each with licensed guides and a full porter and cook crew. These are private climbs: your own party, your own dates. Longer itineraries give your body more time to acclimatise, and we'll help you pick the right one for your fitness and budget.
