Which route should I choose for my Kilimanjaro Charity challenge?

First and foremost, the most important thing that comes before everything else is your safety. We will advise you on the best route that will make you reach the top of the summit safely. With Kilimanjaro Charity events, getting to the peak is important, it shows your willpower to endure, persist and strive for what you aim to achieve. Since you have both the moral and financial support and backing of your friends, family, and everybody else. It is an inspiration in itself, you will also need to inspire and put your message across of not giving up even in tough times and conditions.

To achieve this goal, it all boils down to acclimatization and proper planning. Summit Success on Mount Kilimanjaro depends mostly on about 80% of proper acclimatisation the rest relies on fitness, will power and determination. That is why at Tranquil Kilimanjaro we strongly advise that you choose a longer route, that will give you enough time to acclimatize and follows the “climb high-sleep low” rule. The two routes recommend for all charity groups to climb are over 8 days, namely the 8 days Lemosho route, and the 9 days Northern Circuit Route.

These routes offer one of the best success rates and are very scenic and beautiful. Of course there are many routes that you can choose from especially you have past experience in climbing high mountains.
