There are six routes used to climb Kilimanjaro. Each has different elements that reasonably can cause a climber to select one over the other. There are routes that approach from the west, the north, and the south, and each offers different viewpoints.

There are relatively easy trails, moderately difficult routes, and even dangerous ones. There are routes that are favorable for altitude acclimatisation. There are routes that are better when climbing during the rainy season. There are routes that offer different accomodations, huts versus tents.

Given all of these factors, this site was created to inform climbers of the differences between the six established routes to assist in planning your Mount Kilimanjaro climb.
