This is a common question on everyone’s mind when they decide to climb Mount Kilimanjaro summit. The answer is not obvious, we have to take several things into consideration.
The simplest routes are Marangu and Rongai. Marangu route is the most popular and convenient since it can be done in 5-6 days, and you can sleep in the huts, i.e. beds in shelters, but personally it’s not my favorite route because it is the most crowded and beaten.
Rongai route is definitely easier because very gradual, it can be done in 5-6 days as Marangu, you overnight in mobile tents set by the staff. The transfer to the starting point is quite long and for this reason is perhaps the path less travelled.
Take enough time for the trekking is the most important thing and spend a full day for acclimatization helps a lot because the real difficulty during the trek on Kilimanjaro is the altitude and avoid altitude sickness after 4000 meters.
The simplest way does not exist, all the routes are not difficult from a technical point of view, it is a long trek. Each route becomes easier if you are in good healthy and well-trained, during the trek you drink a lot and you follow the advice of the guides. Choose a serous local tour operator and you are in safe hands.
We are waiting for You to conquer the roof of Africa together!!
