Step 2: Shaping the Itinerary
We design a detailed, private itinerary around your preferred travel rhythm. Your flexibility and budget are key.
Step 3 : Travel Preparation
Before you even board the plane, you will feel completely ready. You’ll receive clear answers on packing essentials, what to expect, and our best local recommendations. No second-guessing; just confidence in your upcoming African trip.

Top Recomended Kilimanjaro Itineraries in 2026
Why It Wins: It’s the most scenic route, starting out west with genuinely stunning views across the Shira Plateau. Crucially, the 8-day version offers the absolute best acclimatization profile.
The Vibe: High success rate, low stress (for a mountain climb, anyway).
Best For: First-timers and anyone who wants the highest chance of summiting comfortably.
Why It Wins: Famous for a reason (it’s called the “Whiskey Route”). It uses the effective “climb high, sleep low” tactic which is great for your body’s adjustment.
The Vibe: Challenging, scenic, and rewarding camping trek.
Best For: Fit hikers who have some trekking experience and appreciate a classic, challenging ascent.
Why It Wins: It’s the only route with basic communal huts (no tents!) and is generally the most budget-friendly.
The Climb: We only recommend the 6-day version because the 5-day option is too risky for acclimatization. It uses the same path up and down.
Best For: Budget-conscious travelers who prefer a roof over their heads and are comfortable with a less varied trail.
