Find your summit
At Uncharted Summits, we offer a variety of Kilimanjaro routes, each with its own unique challenges and scenic beauty, allowing you to choose the path that best matches your adventure goals and experience level.
Our Routes
Marangu
Many favor Marangu because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path. However the short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult…
Difficulty:
Comparatively Easy
Duration:
5 or 6 days
Scenery:
Good
Traffic:
High
Machame
The Machame route is offered as a 6days trek with two additional nights spent in a hotel (1night before climb and 1night after climb). We run fixed date open group treks on the route throughout the year with many summit dates tying in with the full moon on Kilimanjaro.
Difficulty:
Medium
Duration:
6 or 7 days
Scenery:
Excellent
Traffic:
Very High
Lemosho
This long, little-used route parallels the lower part of the Shira Route. Uncharted Summits leads treks up the Lemosho Route. The Lemosho Route is an unspoiled, remote, little-used, and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. Above the plateau, you approach Kilimanjaro's great western Breach, and then follow the south circuit to reach the easier Barafu Route.
Difficulty:
Medium
Duration:
7 or 8 days
Scenery:
Excellent
Traffic:
Medium
Rongai
The Rongai route is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the north, close to the Kenyan border. Though gaining popularity amongst climbers, the Rongai route still experiences low traffic. Rongai is the preferred route for those looking for an alternative to the crowded Marangu route, for those who would like a more remote hike, and for those who are climbing during the rainy season (the north side receives less precipitation).
Difficulty:
Relatively Easy
Duration:
7 Days
Scenery:
Good
Traffic:
Low
Northern Circuit
The Northern Circuit route is one of the best routes on Kilimanjaro, offering nearly 360 degrees of beautiful scenery including the quiet, rarely visited northern slopes. As the longest route on Kilimanjaro, the Northern Circuit also has the most acclimatisation time and the highest summit success rate. Thus, the Northern Circuit route is highly recommended.
Difficulty:
Easy
Duration:
8 or 9 days
Scenery:
Very Good
Traffic:
High

The First UNcharted community
In January 2024, we embarked on our own transformational journey with an incredible group of amazing humans. All of them had their own reasons for taking on the challenge, all of them deeply personal yet motivating them to find their best selves and make a positive impact on the people and world around them.We exist to help you find your own summit, but don't just take our word for it, listen to and read from some of those amazing humans that lived it with us and have enabled us to bring the start of your new adventure to you.

“What really made it special for me was the people. The group I climbed with and our amazing guides became like family. There were moments when I wanted to give up, but they kept me going.”
