What is the minimum age to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?

The minimum age to climb Kilimanjaro is 10. We have had many families climb Kilimanjaro with us since we started our company back in 2004. We have even had some 10 year olds, including one in 2020 who turned her experience into an hour-long video!

Jon and Nyla climbed Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route over six days, staying one night at Crater Camp on day 5. Crater Camp is at 18,865 feet/5,750 meters above sea level, and is the highest camp on the mountain. Jon and Nyla have a lot of high altitude climbing experience and decided that they were ready to tackle Kilimanjaro - and in the most difficult way possible!
