Climb High, Explore Deep – Kilimanjaro and Safari with Musoma Travels
Mount Kilimanjaro, located in northeastern Tanzania, is the highest mountain in Africa, standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. Known as the "Roof of Africa," it is a dormant volcano with three peaks: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira.
Kilimanjaro is one of the world’s most famous trekking destinations, attracting thousands of tourists every year. Unlike many high mountains, Kilimanjaro does not require technical climbing skills, making it accessible to adventurous travelers from all over the globe. The mountain offers several scenic routes, each with unique landscapes ranging from tropical rainforest to alpine desert and icy summit.
Tourism on Kilimanjaro plays a big role in Tanzania’s economy. It creates jobs for local guides, porters, cooks, and supports nearby communities. Climbing Kilimanjaro is not just a personal achievement – it’s also a journey through the natural beauty and cultural richness of Tanzania.
The Marangu Route also known as the “Coca-Cola Route” is the oldest and most well established trekking route on Mount Kilimanjaro, and it remains extremely popular mainly because it is the only route on the mountain that has hut accommodation for trekkers.
This path provides trekkers with the classic Kilimanjaro climbing experience, offering sweeping views and a wonderful hiking adventure all the way to the summit of Uhuru Peak. That said, it also has some unique aspects that set it apart from any of the other routes as well, giving Marangu route a character and feeling that is entirely its own.

The Machame route, also known as the “Whiskey” route, is a six or seven day camping route and is most popular route on Kilimanjaro. This trail offers stunning views, a reasonable challenge, and plenty of time to acclimate, making it a good choice for those who have a bit of extra time in their schedule. According to statistics from Kilimanjaro National Park approximately 35% of all climbers on the mountain use it. Machame route has been nicknamed the “Whiskey Route” because it is often perceived as being tougher than Marangu route, which is often referred to as the “Coca-Cola” route. Unlike that trail however, camping is allowed on Machame, which means trekkers will be sleeping in tents all the way to the summit. Trekkers who take the Machame Route pass several well known Mount Kilimanjaro landmarks while en route, including the famed Lava Tower and Shira Plateau. The route wanders up and down a series of valleys and ridges, which make the walk a bit more strenuous, but rewards hikers with some of the best views on the mountain. It is for that reason that Machame route is widely considered to be the most scenic of all of the routes up Mount Kilimanjaro, providing unique and varied landscapes to pass through on each and every day. The trail starts on the south side of the mountain, passes underneath the Southern Ice Field and makes its summit approach from the Barafu Camp.
