These routes are located far away from each other almost around whole Mountain. So each route has different features and hence have different levels of increasing altitude. Some Kilimanjaro routes trails are steep and some are gentle. Marangu route is easiest trail to climb kilimanjaro, is most famous and this is because it was first route to be discovered by White Men (Europeans) known as Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller.Marangu route is the only route with mountain huts. As a result, marangu route is most known and most used by Tourists.

Rongai route is second easiest route which approach Kibo peak from Northern Kilimanjaro. Climbers start sleeping in tents when climbing for 3 nights and then last 2 nights sleep in Marangu hut when descending. Rongai route is scenic and beautiful than marangu. There is possibility of seeing wildlife when using Rongai route. Rongai route gate is several kms from Moshi and hence few tourists prefer it.
