Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro – Conquer the Roof of Africa with Mashirima Tours

Rising majestically above the East African plains, Mount Kilimanjaro is more than just the tallest mountain in Africa—it’s a symbol of adventure, resilience, and the raw beauty of nature. Located in northeastern Tanzania, near the Kenyan border, this dormant volcanic giant stands at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level, earning its title as the highest freestanding mountain in the world and one of the most sought-after trekking destinations on the planet.

At Mashirima Tours, we are proud to offer expertly guided expeditions to Mount Kilimanjaro, designed for climbers of all skill levels. Our mission is to ensure every adventurer not only reaches the summit but does so safely, comfortably, and with unforgettable memories along the way.

Why Climb Kilimanjaro?

Mount Kilimanjaro is unique in that it requires no technical climbing experience to reach its summit. With proper preparation, guidance, and support, it is accessible to anyone with a good level of fitness and determination. Along the journey, climbers pass through five distinct ecological zones—cultivated land, rainforest, heath, alpine desert, and arctic summit—each offering awe-inspiring scenery and diverse wildlife.

Our Routes to the Summit

Mashirima Tours offers a variety of Kilimanjaro routes, each tailored to different experience levels and interests:

• Marangu Route – Known as the "Coca-Cola" route, it’s the only one with hut accommodations and is considered the easiest path to the top.
• Machame Route – Popular for its scenic beauty, this "Whiskey" route offers a more challenging climb with a rewarding payoff.
• Lemosho Route – A longer route ideal for acclimatization, with fewer crowds and stunning panoramic views.
• Rongai Route – Approaches Kilimanjaro from the north and is perfect for those seeking a quieter, off-the-beaten-path experience.
• Umbwe Route – The most challenging and direct route, suited for experienced climbers.

Our team of local, experienced guides, porters, and cooks ensure you are fully supported every step of the way—with nutritious meals, clean water, quality camping equipment, and medical checks throughout the climb.
