Are you confused about the Kilimanjaro climbing routes. Get the real story from somebody who is not trying to sell you a trip. Capt. Linus Wilson has climbed several 14ers and Pico de Orizaba and he tells you what really matters. A slow ascent is the most important factor in Kilimanjaro success. Acclimatization and avoiding Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) will make or break your climb. The best route for success is the Northern Circuit Route that camps 9 days at altitude.
The 7 most popular routes are
"1. Northern Circuit Route
2. Lemosho Route
3. Shira Route
4. Machame Route (“Whiskey” Route)
5. Rongai Route
6. Marangu Route (“Coca-Cola” Route)
7. Umbwe Route"
according to climbing-kilimanjaro.com/kilimanjaro-routes
The best month to go is July because it has the least rainfall.
