Rongai route
The Rongai Route is one of the easiest routes and the success rate is very high. The route starts on the north side of the mountain just south of the Kenyan border. The descent is down the Marangu Route on the south side of the mountain, so climbers see the mountain from many view points.

Ubwe route
The Umbwe Route is steeper and shorter than the Machame Route. Once at the Barranco camp, you continue on the Machame route. The descent is down the Mweka trail.

Shira plateau route
The shira route traverses the large plateau of Shira to join the Machame Route
