The Machame route is often considered to be the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro.  Our 7 day Machame route is an excellent choice for the adventurous trekker.  The route incorporates a high lunch on day 3 at Lava Tower (4600m) which is a great aid to acclimatisation.

The Rongai route is considered by many to be one of the easiest routes on Kilimanjaro and it is the only route that approaches from the North.  It is less popular than the other routes and as a result much quieter.  Our 6 day Rongai route is a good choice if you have limited time and are looking for a quieter trek.  Day 2 is a big day in terms of height gain but most people cope fairly well.
