Great experience with this tour operator. Organization was all perfect. Our head guide Filbert and his entire team were fantastic, they clearly knew what they were doing and that experience shone through the entire trek. Very professional, helpful, knowledgeable and competent.
Craving a more secluded Kilimanjaro adventure? The Rongai route approaches the summit from the north, beginning near the Kenyan border and offering trekkers a quieter, more wilderness-focused journey. This less-trafficked trail features a gradual ascent over seven days, winding through farmlands, a small forest, and alongside the striking Mawenzi Peak—home to arguably the most picturesque camp on the mountain, Mawenzi Tarn. The journey culminates as you cross the stark Saddle desert toward Kibo camp, joining the Marangu route for the final summit push via Gillman’s and Stella Point. The unique selling point of this trekking tour is its remote start and tranquil atmosphere, making it ideal for adventurers seeking solitude and a scenic, gradual climb.
Regarded as the premier ascent, the Kilimanjaro Lemosho route is celebrated for its balance of natural beauty, remoteness, and a high summit success rate. Starting on the mountain’s western side, this trek takes you through Kilimanjaro’s most breathtaking regions, with ample time for acclimatization and cultural encounters along the way. The route ascends via Stella Point—considered safer than the Western Breach—and includes a night in the dramatic Kibo caldera. Fully supported with comfortable tents, dedicated cooking staff, and professional guides, this trekking tour package offers a complete Kilimanjaro experience. Its standout feature is the combination of cultural diversity, spectacular scenery, and increased acclimatization, making it the top choice for those seeking both adventure and the best odds of reaching the summit.
Embark on the most popular Kilimanjaro trekking route—the Marangu, often called the Coca-Cola route for its reputation as a relatively accessible climb. Unlike other routes, Marangu offers hut accommodations in place of tents, providing added comfort and protection from the elements. The trek begins at around 6,000 feet and, like all others, ends at the summit, making it an appealing choice for those who favor convenience. While some attempt the climb in five days, six or seven days are recommended for better acclimatization and summit success. This tour package’s unique appeal lies in its hut-based lodging, which offers a more comfortable option for trekkers looking for an approachable yet authentic Kilimanjaro experience.
