Kilimanjaro Tanzanite Safaris Ltd, is Licensed Tour Operator in Arusha, Tanzania


Before or after going to Beach holiday, some tourists likes to do some active vacation holiday like mountain climbing. In Tanzania Mount Kilimanjaro climbing is adventure which attracts many tourists.




Something to know and take precaution before climbing Kilimanjaro is altitude sickness. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro seems difficult by some climbers due to altitude sickness. So tourist has to plan well and get prepared to get acclimatization and climb in good season

The climb almost always takes between 5 and 8 days, and always with a fixed and preset itinerary. The climb up Kilimanjaro is mostly a walk. Some places – particularly summit day – are steep and grueling, but at other times you’ll be walking through flat meadows or even descending for periods along the fixed routes. Some Kilimanjaro trekking routes seems difficult and some seems easier or moderate. Marangu, Rongai and Machame, shira and Lemosho are moderately easier and success. Only Umbwe looks difficult due to steepness.

Here are the basics of the things you’ll need to consider before you find yourself stepping on to snow on the top of Africa mountain.

Choose Kilimanjaro Travel Outfitter.

Organizers of Kilimanjaro climbs and associated safaris are known as operators, or outfitters. Their function is retain experienced guiding and support crews and to arrange and conduct the expedition, supplying all kit, food and other climb logistics. They will also usually arrange for your transfers to and from Kilimanjaro International Airport, basic hotel accommodation before and after the climb itself, and a general flow of information and advice before, during and after the sales/climb process. The best packages are all-inclusive package except for drinks, tips and a few occasional meals at the hotel.

There are two type of Kilimanjaro climbing operator on the market, the local Tanzanian outfitter or a foreign based western outfitter.
Western Outfitter or Travel Agent acts as Middle men and if you book through them, you pay a lot of money. At the same time, the local Tanzanian outfitter does all your Kilimanjaro trekking, climbing trip handling.

So how to save money on your Kilimanjaro climbing trip is to book directly with local Tanzania outfitter.
Example Kilimanjaro climbing for 6 days is up to 1800 US $ per person(western outfitter) while the same route used costs 1400 US $ for local Tanzania outfitter –All inclusive.

Choose a route
The most common routes will take between 5 and 8 days, depending on which you choose and what you pay for in advance. In other words, you’ll decide in advance how many days your climb will be and you’ll stick to that plan unless something goes wrong and you have to descend.

Kilimanjaro Routes.

Book yourself a flight to Tanzania (or Kenya)
The climbing part is booking separately from your transportation to the country and unless you are already in eastern Africa chances are this is not going to be a cheap flight. There are some ways to arrive for a bit less money, especially if you have a bit of extra time and have an adventurous spirit aside from the mountain climbing thing.

Kilimanjaro Trekking Routes

Kilimanjaro trekking,climbing routes are; Machame route mostly 6 days, Marangu can be climbed 5 and 6 days, Londorossi/Lemosho 7 or 8 days, Umbwe 5 day or 6 days,Lemosho route 7 days,Londorossi Western Breach 8-10 days, Rongai 6 days , And 7 days Shira Exclusive fantastic route-through Shira is the most fascinating and scenic route up Kilimanjaro.


Machame Route
This is probably the most scenic and most beautiful route to the summit. The 6-day route is however physically more challenging than the Marangu route. The day walks are longer and steeper, however the summit night is one hour shorter. The scenic traverse of the Western Breach offers some stunning views! Only tented accommodation available, which can be less comfortable and will require a good sleeping bag and hiking mattress.

Umbwe Route
This route is one of the shorter but also one of the more difficult routes to reach Uhuru peak--but quiet spectacular. Umbwe is known for its caves. The first night you actually sleep at the Umbwe Cave Camp with two more caves that can be visited on route the following day. Also sometimes used as a descending route.

Shira Route
The Shira Plateau is one of the most scenic and most fascinating areas on Kilimanjaro. Depending on the weather conditions you can drive by 4 wheel drive vehicles, to within a 1/2 hours walk of Shira Hut (4000m). Even this drive is very spectacular indeed and offers some magnificent views of Mt Meru and the Great Rift Valley in general. Game is often sighted and the road features some striking vegetation changes ranging from forest, grassland, heath to moorland. The fast ascend by vehicle to about 4000m will require additional acclimatisation, after which it will be possible to ascend Uhuru Peak either via the Western Breach or via the Barafu hut.

Mweka Route
This route can only be use as a descending route for all the western routes.

Lemosho Route
It is a remote, unspoiled and very beautiful route to the Roof of Africa. The forest around the Lemosho Glades is rich in big game animals such as elephant and buffalo, which may sometimes require a game ranger to accompany climbers on the first day. This route is however a long route which requires 7-days for a comfortable completion, which also makes it more expensive.

Rongai (Naro Moru) Route
Rongai is the second easiest and gentle to climb Mount Kilimanjaroafter Marangu
You can start this route from both the Tanzanian side of the border or from Rongai in Kenya, but all park fees and arrangements must be made at the Marangu gate. The route may only be used for ascend and the Marangu route must be used for descend. There are several big caves along the route, which are used by the porters to overnight for the first two nights.

Western Breach / Arrow Glacier
An alternative final ascend route which can be taken from all of the western routes, sleeping at magnificent Arrow Glacier on your summit night. The western Breach poses a very difficult walk up steep scree with some rock scrambling occasionally required. Snow cover makes scree easier but an ice axe is then required. It is also possible to sleep an extra night inside the Kibo Crater!
Day to Day activity on each route will be provided, kindly contact us. All information about accommodations, food and trekking duration/distance will be provided if you like.
