Mount Kilimanjaro offers several routes, each with unique features:
- Marangu Route: Known as the “Coca-Cola” route, it’s the only path with hut accommodations, making it popular among first-time climbers.
- Machame Route: Dubbed the “Whiskey” route, it offers scenic views and a higher success rate due to better acclimatization.
- Lemosho Route: Renowned for its beauty and low traffic, this route provides excellent acclimatization and a high success rate.
