There are many different routes you can take when climbing Kilimanjaro. The six main routes on Mount Kilimanjaro are:
- Lemosho Route – the most recommended route
- Machame Route – the most popular route
- Marangu Route – the only route where you can stay in huts
- Rongai Route – the only route that starts in the north near the Kenyan border
- Shira Route – the only route that starts at a relatively high altitude
- Umbwe Route – the shortest and steepest, hence most difficult route
In addition to the main routes, the following variations are also possible:
- Northern Circuit – the longest route offering almost 360° views
- Grand Traverse – an easier, quieter and even longer alternative to the Northern Circuit
- Crater Camp – can be added to any route, best with Lemosho or Northern
- Western Breach – shortcut on the southern circuit, but a risk of rockfall
