Add-on
Add Africa's highest peak to your safari. Pick a route below, then build a full climb plan with flights, lodges, park fees and the total cost.
Marangu
5–6 daysModerate
The classic 'Coca-Cola' route. The only one with hut accommodation instead of tents, and a gentler, direct path up. Great for first-timers who want a bed each night.
Machame
6–7 daysChallenging
The most popular route, known as the 'Whiskey' route. Steeper and scenic, with excellent acclimatisation and high summit success rates.
Lemosho
7–8 daysChallenging
A longer, quieter trail starting in rainforest on the western side. The extra days give the best acclimatisation and some of the finest views on the mountain.
Rongai
6–7 daysModerate
The only route approaching from the north, near the Kenyan border. Drier, less crowded and a good choice in the rainy season.
Pick a route above first.
