Diverse Climbing Routes: Kilimanjaro offers several routes to the summit, each with its unique scenery and challenges. Popular routes include Marangu (the “Coca-Cola” route), Machame (the “Whiskey” route), Lemosho, Rongai, and Shira. Each route provides a different perspective of the mountain’s beauty, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts.
Ecological Zones: The climb to Kilimanjaro’s summit takes you through five distinct ecological zones. Starting in the lush montane forest, you’ll ascend through the heath and moorland zones, cross the alpine desert, and finally reach the icy summit zone. This incredible variation in climate and landscape is part of what makes Kilimanjaro so unique.

The park also features unique vegetation, such as giant lobelias and groundsels, which thrive in the high-altitude environment.
