Choose the right route for your Kilimanjaro climb
Most people book their Kilimanjaro climb well ahead, and this is where you can make the first mistake.
There are several climb routes up Kilimanjaro, and there is a huge number of operators. A Kilimanjaro climb is expensive, so it’s tempting to look for the cheapest deal.
The cheapest Kilimanjaro climbs are also the shortest. Every day on the mountain will add a few hundred dollars to the price. It is possible to book a five day or even four-day climb, and it would be a mistake to do so.
If you want to increase your chances of reaching the summit further, consider choosing one of the longer routes.
