Popular Kilimanjaro Routes with POAPOA Tours

• Machame Route: Known as the “Whiskey Route,” Machame is a popular choice due to its scenic diversity and high success rate. This route is recommended for climbers with a moderate level of fitness who enjoy a more challenging trek.
• Marangu Route: The “Coca-Cola Route” is favored for its huts, which provide shelter along the way. It’s the only route with hut accommodations, making it suitable for those who prefer a shorter and more comfortable trek.
• Lemosho Route: For those seeking a more remote experience, Lemosho offers a longer and less crowded trail with breathtaking views. This route has a high summit success rate due to its longer acclimatization period.
• Rongai Route: Starting on the northern side of Kilimanjaro, this route is drier and offers different scenery from the other southern routes. It’s ideal for climbers who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy a gradual ascent.
