Six routes. One summit.

The most scenic and acclimatised route — beginning quietly through Londorossi's rainforest before joining the southern circuit. Our recommended path.

Tanzania's most beloved trail — camping under glaciers, scaling the Barranco Wall, and summiting at first light from Barafu.

The newest and longest route — a near-private trail around Kibo's northern slopes, well clear of every other party. Best summit odds.

The original. The only route with hut accommodation and the same path up and down — well-suited to climbers with limited time.

The only route from the north — drier weather, fewer climbers, and the chance of antelope and buffalo on the lower slopes.

Steepest. Shortest. Recommended only for those with serious high-altitude experience and a taste for the spartan.
