Most PopularThe "Whiskey Route" — scenic, varied and with excellent acclimatisation. 6–7 days.
Remote, beautiful and quiet, with superb acclimatisation over 7–8 days. Our top recommendation.
The "Coca-Cola Route" — the only path with hut accommodation. A classic 5–6 day climb.
After the mountain, there's no better reward than Zanzibar. Picture powder-soft white sand, warm turquoise water and swaying palms — the perfect place to rest tired legs and toast your achievement.
Wander the labyrinth of historic Stone Town, tour a fragrant spice farm, snorkel coral reefs or simply do gloriously nothing on the beach.
You don't need to be an athlete, but a good level of general fitness helps enormously. We recommend regular cardio and hiking in the months before your climb. The biggest factor for success is proper acclimatisation, which is why we favour longer routes.
The clearest, driest conditions are from January to mid-March and June to October. We run climbs year-round and will advise on the best window for your dates.
It's a short and scenic flight of roughly 1 to 1.5 hours, making the trek-and-beach combo wonderfully easy to arrange.
Park fees, professional guides, porters, a mountain chef, all meals on the mountain, quality tents and camping equipment, and airport transfers. We'll send a full inclusions list with your quote.
