At Altezza Travel, we've conducted an in-depth analysis and examined the data from January 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. We looked at the records of over 40,000 climbers.
Our findings revealed that starting your climb on a Wednesday or Thursday reduces the crowds you will encounter. There are almost twice fewer climbers starting on these days compared to the rest of the week.
Additionally, we discovered that the Rongai route has eight times fewer climbers than the popular Machame route. Thus, by climbing Kilimanjaro on Thursday and opting for the Rongai route, you'll encounter nearly 16 times fewer people on your climb to Uhuru Peak.
