Trail Conditions on Mount Kilimanjaro (What to Expect From Top to Bottom)

The trails on Mount Kilimanjaro are well marked and maintained. That means they’re easy to follow and generally easy to tackle.
Technical skills are not required on our routes. There are only a couple places where scrambling (or climbing with the use of the hands) is required. And there are no points where exposure to falling off a cliffside is a legitimate threat.
For the most part, Kilimanjaro routes begin at the base of the mountain between 5,000 and 8,000 feet and top out at the summit at 19,341 feet. Given the significant altitude change from top to bottom, the topography changes drastically during the climb. Each ecological zone you enter will present a different trail condition.
Remember that bad weather conditions can come at any time, no matter where you are on the mountain. So climbers should be prepared to trek through all types of weather and all types of terrain during their journey.
The trail conditions on Mount Kilimanjaro will vary from top to bottom. The changing surroundings is what makes climbing Kilimanjaro interesting as there are always new things to see and experience every day.
By trekking and mountaineering standards, the terrain on the primary routes don’t present any overwhelming obstacles that the average person wouldn’t be able to overcome.
