Mount Meru – The Momella Route
Climb Mount Meru via the Momella Route on this 4-day trek starting and ending in Arusha. Ideal for acclimatization, first-time summiters, or those seeking a quiet forest adventure, this journey takes you through wildlife-rich trails in Arusha National Park, where giraffes and birdsong accompany your ascent. Summit Socialist Peak at sunrise with views of Kilimanjaro on the horizon, unwind with reflective evenings, and optionally close your climb with a crew lunch, gratitude ritual, or a cultural heritage walk.

Mount Kilimanjaro – The Machame Route
Embark on a 9-day trek along the Machame Route (Whisky Route), starting in Arusha or Moshi. Perfect for soulful summit seekers, glacier views, and narrative-driven trekkers, this climb takes you through five distinct ecological zones — from rainforest to glacier. Reach Uhuru Peak with a sense of shared achievement, supported by KAONE’s Comfort-level care and Tanzanian mountain crew. Along the way, enjoy optional moments of meaning, such as a storytelling circle, a co-created summit journal, or a cultural capstone walk.

Explore More Kili Routes
While the Machame Route is KAONE’s Signature climb for its scenic drama and steady pacing, we support all official Kilimanjaro summit routes, each offering a distinct experience. From the quiet, panoramic Lemosho and the hut-accommodated Marangu, to the remote Rongai, steep Umbwe, or the solitude of the Northern Circuit — there’s a route for every trekker. Not sure which fits your style, fitness, or timeframe? Our team will guide you in choosing the path that aligns best with your story.
Twin Peaks Combo Option
Two mountains. Two narratives. One deeply human journey.
KAONE’s Twin Peaks Collection invites you to summit both of Tanzania’s volcanic giants: Mount Meru (4,566 m / 14,980 ft) and Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m / 19,341 ft) — not as conquests, but as chapters in a story of shared resilience, ethical adventure, and quiet awe.
Each climb is led by our Tanzanian crew with dignity at the center: fair pay, personal connection, and community impact baked into every step. Whether you walk these peaks separately or together, the journey stays true to the soul of travel that gives back.
