I’ve hiked the Inca Trail before, and found it failry managable. Tough for sure, but definitely doable. Now I’m thinking about hiking up Mt Kilimanjaro, I know this is a much longer trek and at a higher altitude, but I’m interested to hear how each compares. I’m not a fit avid hiker, but can train before hand and am looking at the 7-8 day Lemosho route. Has anyone hiked Kilimanjaro and can tell me how they found it? And has anyone done both and can say how they compare?

Hi @wendy I dont Kili 2 years ago and did the Umbwe Route in 5 days up and down. Supposed to be the tougher one but I thought it was fine. Especially as you do take your time. As long as you dont rush you are fine. The Lemosho is the most popular one and you have a few more days and more stops to acclimatize. I only done 1 hike before Kili over 3000m and I was fine. So with a bit of training you should be able to do it. Definitely saw some people up there that were not prepared and still managed.
