Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest peak standing in at 19,340’~5,895 m which also classifies it as the world’s highest freestanding mountain. Three volcanoes make up the structure of the range: Shira (13,000’~3,962 m), Mawenzi (16,896’~5,149 m), and Kibo (19,340 feet ~5894 m). Through Climb Kili’s routes, trekkers pass through five major ecological zones: Rain forest, Heath, Alpine Desert, Moorland and Arctic Glaciers. Trekking from the monkey filled rainforest’s to the glacier packed Summit rim is only a part of the lure.
Wildlife is not uncommon in the lower portions of the climb. Buffalo, elephants and eland frequently graze the northern slopes, while the forest belt is home to Skyes monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys and a variety of birds such as the tropical boubou, augur buzzard, white-naped ravens, mountain hawk eagle, sun birds, and lammergeier.
The common meaning for KILMANJARO is “shining mountain” in Swahili. From the first summits recorded in 1889 to today, thousands of adventurers brave the mountainside climb of Kilimanjaro each year as a difficult personal challenge to overcome, a enlightening spiritual journey or many other great causes.

Also known as the “Coca Cola route” – the Marangu route is one of the most popular routes leading to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Many hikers believe that the Marangu route is the easiest route to Uhuru peak, since it is the only route which can be hiked in 5 days (making it the cheapest option). It is also the only route offering accommodation on the mountain, in A-frame huts.

The Machame route is our most popular and successful route leading to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Hikers sleep in tents which are carried up the mountain by porters. The Machame route is a very scenic and beautiful route, which can be completed in 6 days, however we strongly recommend hiking the route in 7 days, allowing for more time to acclimatise.

The Umbwe route is known for its caves. The first night you actually sleep at the Umbwe Cave Camp with two more caves that can be visited en route the following day. The Umbwe route is one of the shortest routes to the Southern Glaciers and the Western Breach.

The Lemosho Route is a very beautiful and unspoilt route and sightings of wild game in the forest section is possible. The Lemosho route is one of the quieter routes up Kilimanjaro, this advantage however disappears when the route combines with the Machame route on the 3rd day of the hike.

The Rongai route ascents Kilimanjaro from the north-eastern side of the mountain, along the border between Tanzania and Kenya. This route retains a sense of unspoilt wilderness and offers a different perspective on Kilimanjaro by approaching it from the north.

Tiffany KEvarest and his team were top notch! My friend and I used this company for our climb up kilimanjaro and the safari and we are definitely glad that we did! Evarest made sure that we were safe the entire trip and tailored our trip to the way we had envisioned it! He is very knowledgable and I learned a lot of things throughout this trip. I highly recommend that you use Evarest adventures, you will not regret it!
Jianya LA friend of mine climbed with Evarest a few years back and was highly recommending him to me for my Kilimanjaro climb so I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad we did! Evarest was very responsive from the very beginning. My friend and I took awhile to finalize our dates and flights but Evarest was super patient with us. We ended up booking Evarest for the 7 day Machame route and 3 days of safari. Everything was perfect.
Farahani MI can't say enough about the company and its people. I had a great time climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. Service and hospitality that were provided to me and my friends by Evarest Adventures is more than I expected. Now I am thinking about going back for the second time with my family, this time I will definitely bring my Gopro. I'm also thinking of visiting Tanzania national parks such as Serengeti, Manyara and so forth. Keeping long story short, "My trip to Mt Kilimanjaro was awesome!" I also would like to give my appreciations to the mountain guide Mr. Everist.
