Kilimanjaro: 6-Day Western Breach Route Guided Climb

Conquer Kilimanjaro via the Western Breach Route on a 6-day guided climb. Enjoy a challenging trek with stunning views, diverse landscapes, and an overnight stay at Crater Camp.
Take on one of Kilimanjaro’s most challenging and rewarding routes. The Western Breach Option is designed for strong and experienced trekkers who want a direct and steep approach to the summit. This 7-day climb offers dramatic views, quiet paths, and a tougher adventure for those looking for a more demanding route.

The Western Breach Route is one of the steepest and most direct ways to reach Uhuru Peak. This 7-day program gives you time to adjust to the altitude while following a less-traveled path across Shira Plateau, Lava Tower, Arrow Glacier, and the rocky Western Breach wall.

Your certified guides will lead you safely, set up the camps, prepare meals, and manage the climb step by step. Because this route includes steep sections and rocky terrain, it is recommended only for trekkers with good fitness and some mountain experience.

Pass through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and finally the high ice zones near the top. The climb includes long days, but the views and the quiet environment make the experience unique.
