Kilimanjaro Climbing Tours Top Activities
There are many Kilimanjaro Climbing Tours to explore, but we have highlighted few top activities here.
1: Visit Maundi Crater

Mount Kilimanjaro has many scenic hikes; some are only for
more advanced hikers, but there are a few that can be attempted by healthy and
fit vacationers. Hikes to the Maundi Crater Rim are among the most popular
here. It's about a 15-minute hike past Kilimanjaro's first checkpoint, Mandara,
which is located on the Marangu Route.
Located approximately 1 KM away from Mandara hut, Maundi crater is a small-sized depression resulting from the volcanic activities of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The crippled vegetation growth that exists within it today is evidence of this. The lowest part of the crater has even less vegetation than the surrounding area.
Today, the crater is used as an additional hiking destination along the Marangu route, providing hikers with breathtaking views of the mountain ahead as well as the lower lands from which they came. For those who arrive at the first camp early, the Maundi crater hike also provides much-needed acclimatization on the first day.
Its location is also right on the edge of the mountain's rainforest. You must be at or near Mandara huts campsite to get there. Hikers can hike to the crater from Mandara as part of their acclimatization day on day 1 or as a detour on their way to the Horombo huts on day 2.
The hike to the crater takes about 15 minutes, and hikers should indeed arrange an extra excursion with the guide or travel agent although this is mostly not covered by the route; however, most guides might very well gladly get you there for a small tip.
2: Last Water Point

The last water point is a very fascinating place along the Marangu route, where tourists can go and visit. The name itself came from the fact that hikers always were insisted to make sure they filled up their water reserves here as they will not find another watering point until they get back to Horombo Hut from the summit (they are able to buy bottled mineral water at Kibo Hut). As a hiker, this place is worthy of a visit whenever you choose the Marangu route as your hiking route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. These small points along the way to the summit will help you not only acclimatize to the environment but will add to the high chances of you reaching the summit.
3: Kissing the Wall

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa has always been the dream of every Mountain Hiker. Mount Kilimanjaro is not only the highest point in the continent but also the world's tallest free-standing mountain, which means is not in the mountain range.
Hiking mount Kilimanjaro has many routes to the summit and each route is very unique and attractive with a lot of mind-blowing features including the famous wall Barranco wall.
Located at the southern base of Kibo, which is a part of Mount Kilimanjaro the Barranco Wall is the very fascinating feature you will find as you opt on your journey to the summit of the roof of Africa. It can only be reached by specific paths that go up the mountain. The four routes that travel in this direction are: Shira Route, Lemosho Route, Umbwe Route and Machame Route.
When Mount Kilimanjaro went dormant between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago, volcanic activity and landslides formed the Barranco Wall. The mountain is so tall that looking up from the bottom makes it difficult to see the top. As a result, many mountaineers add this ascent to their bucket list.
As
hikers trail to summit of Mount Kilimanjaro there is a point they will reach to
this narrow trail of Barranco wall. There is a section of the trail, given a
name of the kissing wall or hugging wall. Because of the narrowness of the
trail at this point, this reference is made. To avoid falling off a steep drop,
you must flatten against the wall while climbing this section. It is not
difficult, but it can be intimidating. As they pass through, many climbers will
kiss the wall.
Frequently asked questions about Kilimanjaro Climbing Tours
As experienced tour operator and helping many reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, our experience shows that for experienced hikers or mountaineers even a 6 day route is perfect for them, and to those who are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the second or third time, they need just minimum number of days as they are used to the climate out there.
We
recommend a minimum of eight days for all those who are hiking mount Kilimanjaro for the first time, this will give you a high chance of summiting the highest peak in Africa but also acclimatize to the weather and climate, although some people
may wish more time for the trip. We can customize itineraries or routes to
offer more days in the park(s). Some people may wish to climb nearby Mount Meru
as well. If you have more than eight or nine days, you can choose any of the
main routes on the mountain and still have time for a wildlife safari before or
after your trip.
Through out the year you have high chances of climbing and summiting the world's tallest free standing Mountain. At lower elevations, April, May, and November are quite wet while March and June are transitional months. August and September are the coldest and driest months. January, February, July, August, and September are all popular climbing months.
We recommend late may to Early November, and from late December to end of February.
Depending on the change of the seasons of the year, there must be a slight variation on the real values of temperatures on top and on foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. But normally Kilimanjaro temperature ranges from 25oc to 30oc at the foot of the mountain and 0oc and below on top, plus wind. As you ascend, there is a decrease in temperature, increase in pressure and it is windy on some point.
With broad experience helping many to summit the roof of Africa, We can assure anyone that hiking Kilimanjaro requires no technical climbing experience and any moderate and ordinary fit person can summit the mountain. With this regard in mind, one should not undermine this Mountain because the gradual change in weather and altitude makes most of the alpine fall altitude sickness. This reason marks Kilimanjaro as the most difficult and valuable achievement anyone dreams to conquer. We assure you yes you can do it, if a six-year-old did it and a 97-year-old did it, why not you? Summit with us and we assure you great success and your dream will come true.
Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, you can do it via six official routes to the top which are Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Rongai, Umbwe, and Shira. The Mweka route is left for descending from another route with exceptional Rongai (which uses Marangu to descend) and Marangu which you can ascend and descend on the same path. With exception of the Marangu route which uses Park’s huts as accommodation, the rest of the routes use camps as accommodation. The tour operator you chose to hike with, will provide all the camping equipment while you are expected to bring your climbing gear. If you prefer to rent climbing gear from us get in touch with us and will be more than happy to rent you the gear you need at an affordable rate.
Marangu and Machame are the most commonly used routes but it does not mean that they are the best and most beautiful than other routes to the top of Kilimanjaro. The basic decisions can be made while choosing the kind of route to climb they include the available time you have, budget, type of accommodation, and kind of challenge you are looking for as well as viewpoints.
With our life experience as a tour operator, this is our advice to our esteemed clients, remember to maintain a slow and steady pace from beginning to end, keep it consistent, they always say, slow and steady win the race! Going slowly allows the body to acclimatize while hiking. Those who vary their hike by rushing at first, always find difficulties at high altitudes. Rushing out too quickly will have troubles higher up the mountain as the body will be overexerted. This still holds true if you are spending an extra day on the mountain. Drink plenty of water and get enough rest and if you can get a lot of sleep, take it even more because your body will need it.
Our guides and staffs are all experts with a huge lifetime experience in helping many Hike Mount Kilimanjaro for years. Yes, we boast of this resource of well-trained guides and staff. Our guides are trained in acute mountain sickness (AMS) and basic mountain First Aid and they go to a refresher course every 6 months, to make sure they are up to date. However, they are not doctors or paramedics. Climbers are responsible for bringing their own First Aid Kit and medical supplies. Under any unlikely event guides or assistants guides are responsible to assist you to trek down at least 3000 m to see if the illness gets better. If the situation is serious they have to quickly call the office for the arrangement of evacuation.
Our Guides and staff are well-trained and certified by the Kilimanjaro National Park Authority. They start out as porters and work their way up to assistant guides. When they are ready (after about 2-4 years), they go through the national park certification process. This certification is not cheap to acquire as one has to be really competent. We also have an internal certification process for both guides and porters as a company and this assures us of the competence and quality of staff that goes out every day to serve our precious customers. We assure our esteemed clients they have nothing to worry about the quality and the commitment of the company to their needs.
Emergency equipment such as oxygen bottles is provided on all treks at no charge.
