Description
A goal for countless climbers from around the world, scaling Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m) is an experience you will look back upon for the rest of your life. And, on this 7-day journey, you will get to reach that summit by way of the Rongai Route.
Rapidly gaining popularity with climbers of Kilimanjaro, the Rongai Route is considered to be one of the easier of the peak’s many route options. Beginning at the north side of the peak, at the Rongai Gate, the climbing conditions along the route are much drier than other routes. However, despite the differences the Rongai Route has with other routes that will take you to the top of Kilimanjaro, one thing it does share with those routes are the unbelievable views you will get to enjoy throughout your trek on it. Moreover, the panoramic views from the summit of the seemingly endless landscape below will take your breath away.
Throughout our trek, we will spend our nights in camping tents. Thus giving you a chance to gaze up at the stars and moon above.
While the climbing of Kilimanjaro does not require any technical climbing experience, it is an exhausting expedition. As a result, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition.
If you would like to climb the tallest peak in Africa along a quieter, drier and easier route, then send a request and join us on the Rongai Route. We have no doubt you’ll an amazing adventure.

In June, 2009 I climbed Mount Kenya, with Trekking Mount Kenya. I spent 4 days on the mountain and experienced the wonderful challenge and the friendly helpfulness and knowledge of my guides and porters. Everything was provided for my comfort and enjoyment so that it was a thoroughly fabulous and memorable trek! I recommend this company whole-heartedly.
Very organized, very friendly and professional staff. The tour was great, everything was as planned.

The Climbing Guides and service in both Kenya and Tanzania were super (5+ stars) Kenya Shem, Joxhu, Joseph & Agustin super and thanks. For Kilimanjaro, Deus and Goodlucky were fantastic. However Claudios needs to update the schedule (Lake Nakuru day 7 was canceled) and make available lunches (they were missing on 3 days to and from Nairobi) and make clear when travel will be alone. Finally the Nairobi service agent pushes additional add on Nairobi packages. These are of poor value and should be avoided. These additional package coverage was misleading and I should have avoided completely. This was a Nairobi issue only. Everyone else was above board and super to work with. in summary, the climbs are great and highly recommended. Note the published schedule is not exact and deal with the Nairobi service agent with caution. (Don't take the additional offerings.) Overall it was a very good experience where I met with many great people. Thanks to all.
