Tanzania National Parks Reopens Three Climbing Routes on Mount Kilimanjaro
What happened
Tanzania National Parks reopened three climbing routes on Mount Kilimanjaro—Lemosho, Londorosi, and Rongai—on October 8, 2026. These routes had been suspended following fire activity on the mountain, according to a public notice issued by the authority. Tourists and licensed tour operators may now resume climbing through the reopened paths.
