To choose the best Kilimanjaro route for your climb, it is important to assess your personal preferences and priorities:
- Do you prefer the most stunning scenery or authentic wilderness away from the crowds?
- Do you prefer a climb with the least amount of walking and easy slopes, or are you looking for a bigger physical challenge?
- Do you have time constraints, or are you OK to take a longer route of 8 days (or more) in order to maximize your summit success chance?
- Do you have budget constraints, or do you prefer to pay a premium for a longer climb, a private tailor-made arrangement (as opposed to an open group climb), and/or a luxurious climb off-the-beaten track?
