Route choice should be based on time, acclimatization, scenery, accommodation preference, fitness and budget — not simply the shortest itinerary. This is the key idea travellers should understand before building the experience into a Tanzania itinerary.
Altitude is the most important planning factor. More time can support acclimatization, but no itinerary can guarantee a summit. Guide quality, porter welfare, pacing, hydration and appropriate equipment should be treated as core safety issues.
