You don’t need to be a professional climber. Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb, meaning no ropes or special skills are required. However, good physical fitness, stamina, and preparation are important for a successful summit.

Most routes take between 6 to 9 days, depending on the trail you choose. Longer routes generally have higher success rates because they allow better acclimatization to the altitude.

Success rates vary by route, but with Karibu Karatu Tanzania’s experienced guides and carefully planned itineraries, climbers have a high chance of reaching the summit. Routes like Lemosho and Northern Circuit have the best success rates.
