‘Easy’ means different things to different people. The same applies to the difficulty of the routes to climb Kilimanjaro. Therefore, we focus on two criteria:Â the amount of walking per day and the and the amount of ascent.
The 8-day Machame Route is your best bet for an easy route as it has the least amount of walking per day of all routes. Add to that the benefit of “hike high, sleep low”. This really helps with continuous altitude acclimatization.
However, if you are more concerned about the ascents rather than the amount of walking, then the 8-day Grand Traverse is your best option. This route has the least amount of ascent to start with. Since it’s also a longer route, it also offers plenty of time for good acclimatization.
