What to Expect
- Uhuru Peak at 5,895 m
- Several route options
- Longer routes aid acclimatisation
- Licensed guides required
Climbing Kilimanjaro to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) is a multi-day guided trek with no technical climbing required. Route choice — Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Rongai or the Northern Circuit — affects scenery, difficulty and acclimatisation, with longer itineraries giving better summit success.
A licensed operator, good guides and a sensible acclimatisation profile matter more than raw fitness.
