It takes five to nine days in order to reach the Mount Kilimanjaro Summit and then descend to the finishing point
(depends on your choosen route & your body fitness). The more days spent
on Mount Kilimanjaro the more likely you will successfully summit, as you will become more acclimatised to the altitude and will be less fatigued.
1. PICK A TIME TO CLIMB
Generally You can climb Kilimanjaro at any time of the year.
We advise that the best time to climb Kilimanjaro is during the warmest and driest times of year, from December to mid-March and mid-June to the end of October.
However, although these are considered to be the best times to climb the mountain in terms of weather, they are also the busiest months.(Read more about best time to Climb Kilimanjaro )
2. CHOOSE THE SUITABLE ROUTE
Always we recommend for the beginners and Aged people to choose the route with high summit success rates, these are Lemosho,
Machame and Northern Circuit routes.
Also We recommend these routes because they are beautiful and varied, and do not require you to descend along the same path. They also enjoy, and of course, we want our climbers to enjoy standing at the summit!
