There are seven established routes to reach the top of Uhuru Peak, the highest summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro namely Northern Circuit, Lemosho, Machame, Shira, Marangu, Rongai and Umbwe. Northern Circuit is the newest and longest route on Kilimanjaro with very low traffic while Umbwe is the shortest and steepest route that is very physically taxing and considered to be a dangerous route. Marangu is also known as the ‘Coca-Cola’ route because it is very cheap and easy while Machame is known as the ‘Whiskey’ route because it is somewhat difficult and expensive than the Marangu route.
