Climbing to the Top of Kenya Trek

To stand atop a mountain, having walked and scrambled your way up is an invigorating experience. To make it to one of the peaks of Mount Kenya, the second-highest mountain in Africa, is an achievement indeed. This tour offers you a quick, challenging, yet manageable ascent up the former volcano.
From the lowlands of Mount Kenya National Park, you will make your way up the mountain and progress through the changing plant and animal life. From forested lands, up to sparse moorlands, with craggy, glacier-carved valleys towards the top, the diversity of what you will see during your time on Mount Kenya is breathtaking.
During your climb up the mountain, you will be accompanied by your own dedicated trekking guide. They will be able to help you spot and identify the wide range of flora and fauna that’s native to the area. Also, you will be accompanied by porters who will take care of transporting your luggage and ensure that hot drinks and food are on hand upon your arrival and at each camp.
This ascent can be made quickly over the four-day itinerary that we offer, however, we do advise that you take a day to acclimatize to the increased altitude with an overnight stay in Nanyuki on the day of arrival. This will attract an additional fee, please contact us for further information.

This route is also called the Tourist Route or the Coca-Colawith Route. 70% of all climbers choose this route because most of the route consists of easy hiking. This route is fairly easy but the final part to the summit is still difficult. Although this route is the easiest, it has the highest failure rate due to bad preparation. It is advised to take this route seriously enough, be well organized, and take all possible safety measures.
All the camps on this route sell goods such as chocolates, beer, soft drinks, and mineral water, and they all have radio contact with the Park Office. This route can be done in 5 days, but it is advised to take an extra day for acclimatization at the Horombo hut, the only campsite on Kilimanjaro with beds and mattresses.

Kilimanjaro Hike- Machame

The Machame route, also known as the Whisky Route is one of the most scenic and recommended routes on Kilimanjaro. These days Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Machame Route is a popular route with paths through magnificent forests to gain a ridge leading through the moorland zones to the Shira Plateau. It then traverses beneath the glaciated precipices of the Southern Ice fields to join the Barafu Route to the summit. Because it can be done over longer periods and the incline is more manageable it has a much higher success rate of summit.
This is probably the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro. Unlike Marangu where people sleep in huts, the Machame route offers strictly tents only. This route is also referred to as the Whiskey route. Probably because it requires a hiker to be more strong and prepared, its better suited to the slightly more adventurous hiker, there are rewarding sceneries like the afternoon sunsets at Shira, the misty revelations of Kibo at the great Barranco Wall, and this route offers the adventurous hiker a stunning scenic “slide show” in a short period of 6 days.
The big success secret offered in this route is by taking hikers high to Lava Tower (4630m) on day 3 and bringing them down by nearly 700m for an overnight at Barranco camp (3950m). The Machame route can also be completed in 5 days. If one goes directly to Kibo on day 3 with an overnight at the Arrow Glacier camp, attempting the summit on day 4.
