OUR RECOMMENDATION (Which route to choose..?)
In our opinion, the best Kilimanjaro routes are the Lemosho, Machame and Northern Circuit routes. We recommend these routes because they are beautiful and varied, and do not require you to descend along the same path. They also enjoy high summit success rates, and of course, we want our climbers to enjoy standing at the summit!
