If you are looking for the ultimate adventure, the following routes and itinerary variations may offer you exactly the kind of unique experience that feels right to you:
- Combine your Kilimanjaro climb with an overnight stay at the Crater Camp, sleeping next to one of Kilimanjaro’s last remaining glaciers
- 8 – 10 days (recommended)
- No particular skills required
- While Crater Camp can be added to any route, it’s best combined with the Lemosho Route, Northern Circuit or Grand Traverse to allow more time to acclimatize prior to staying overnight at such high altitude.
- Combine your Kilimanjaro climb with a pre-acclimatization climb on Mount Kenya (or Mount Meru), scaling two of East Africa’s highest peaks in one go
- 8 – 14 days (depending on routes)
- Best for very fit climbers
- Attempt a 5-day speed-climb on the steep & challenging Umbwe Route
- Only for extremely fit climbers
- Very scenic route, but poor acclimatization
- Only recommendable if you have pre-acclimatized to the thin air, otherwise there is a fairly high risk of not reaching the summit due to AMS (independent of your level of fitness)
