  • Expedition Overview


    Discover the path less traveled with our 8-day Kilimanjaro Trekking Adventure via the scenic Rongai Route. This unique trail begins on the northeastern side of the iconic mountain, offering a more remote and tranquil journey compared to the bustling Marangu Route.


    Ideal for both novice trekkers and seasoned hikers, the Rongai Route provides a gentler slope, stunning wildlife sightings, and a serene atmosphere. And since the north side of the mountain is drier, it is an excellent choice for those venturing out during the rainy season.


    With a combination of hotel stays and camping under the stars, this trekking expedition promises a blend of comfort and adventure, ensuring an unforgettable experience on Africa's highest peak.


    Highlights:


    • Begin your journey with a comprehensive briefing and gear check at the comfortable Flamingo Hotel in Moshi, ensuring you're fully prepared for the adventure ahead.

    • Trek through varied habitats, starting from the Nale Moru village and winding through corn and potato fields, pine forests, and encountering wildlife such as buffalo, elephants, and baboons.

    • Experience the tranquility of camping under the African sky, with nights spent at First Cave, Kikelewa Cave, Mawenzi Tarn Camp, Kibo Hut, and Horombo Hut.

    • Marvel at the unique flora of Kilimanjaro, including the giant lobelia and groundsel, as you traverse the moorlands.

    • Challenge yourself with a midnight summit attempt, navigating stone scree and ice-cap slopes to reach Uhuru Peak, the Roof of Africa.

    • Savor the breathtaking views from the summit, taking in the vast expanse of Africa spread out below you.

    • Enjoy well-deserved rest and celebration with a final night at the Flamingo Hotel in Moshi, complete with a hot shower and comfortable bed.

    • Opt for an additional city tour of Moshi or a visit to a Coffee Farm, depending on your departure time, adding an extra layer of cultural exploration to your journey.

    • Tailor your experience with optional extensions to national parks or the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, ensuring your adventure is exactly as you dreamed.
