We avoid the crowded Marangu route on Kilimanjaro, preferring to approach the mountain from the north by the lightly-used Rongai route. The Rongai route starts just south of the Kenya-Tanzania border and has been almost unused for many years because the area was considered sensitive. Now open for climbing once again, experienced guides consider this ascent route to be both easier and more beautiful than the main Marangu trail. The Rongai route begins in attractive farmland and delightful forest, with the possibility of wildlife viewing, and passes through several different climate zones, adding considerably to the interest of the trek.
We have laid out the day-by-day itinerary under the "itinerary tab". If you have any questions to us, please contact us. We can assure you that this will be an experience of a lifetime.

Great option for traveling to very foreign places. It was an interesting trip and it accomplished my goals. I don't think solo traveling with a group of strangers is for me. More fun facts and explanations of the customs would have enriched the trip. I'm glad the company was able to make the trip so seamless.

Our tour with Anouar was fantastic! He was an amazing guide and shared so much about the Moroccan culture, traditions and people throughout our travels. Although the driving time was quite long, we were able to view so much of the countryside and stop to take pictures whenever we wanted. The scheduled tour stops were beautiful and Anouar would tell us where to get the best pictures or give us some background on its history. The riad and desert camp were also fabulous - very clean, well decorated and both had delicious meals.
Our representative shall pick you up at around 18:00 pm from your hotel and transfer you via a private a/c vehicle to the Cairo river bank where you board your cruise ship (your very own floating restaurant). It is a fabulous way to enjoy a night on the Nile while you are in Cairo. For a two-hour sailing trip, you will enjoy your dinner on board a floating restaurant on the Nile River with a belly dancer, folklore show and music band.
Your taste buds shall be tantalized right through your journey with our chef's buffet menu which includes a selection of Egyptian favourites made with the freshest ingredients and prepared with a lot of care to make it a memorable dining experience.
After the boat returns back, you will disembark and be transferred to your location in Cairo.
Our Marangu route Kilimanjaro trek last week was incredible. We had the best service from the crew of experienced guides and porters. They were experienced on guiding travelers and knew what to do at all times.
Trekking up Kilimanjaro is fun and enjoyable, despite the difficult sections close to the summit, however our crew led us through them.
Service was top class, good waterproof tents, comfortable sleeping bags, good food and regular health checks. We had the best of everything!
I highly recommend this local travel specialist for Kilimanjaro

This safari is a combination of game-driving safaris through Tanzania Northern national parks, cultural destinations and unspoiled wilderness; give the first time visitor a true "Taste of the North."
Your nights will be spent under the stars in a mix of lodges, permanent tent camps, and mobile tented camp. Wake up in your own private camp in the heart of the Ngorongoro plains to the soft sound of Maasai cow bells as a new day begins over The Great Rift Valley.
This safari is designed to not only provide you with an exceptional opportunity to encounter the Big 5, but also to position you in the perfect spot to experience the Great Migration. This is a trip to Africa that truly has it all.
The 7-day Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas from various sides of the mountain. As one of the newer routes, Lemosho is a superb choice for your climb. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low crowds, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate.
The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the rain forest to Shira Ridge. The Lemosho route crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. Crowds are low until the route joins the Machame route near Lava Tower. Then the route traverses underneath Kilimanjaro's Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu. Descent is made via the Mweka route.
We specialize in guiding on the Lemosho route and receive excellent reviews from climbers. Most of our clients climb Kilimanjaro using this route and they consistently report that they loved it. Thus, Lemosho is highly recommended!
NB: With small Additional cost we can book for you accommodation before or/and after summiting Mount Kilimanjaro.
Sure, 55 days might sound like a lot of time, but this once-in-a-life time experience offers you the gift of time in some of the most epic landscapes in the world. See swaths of south and east Africa as you journey by Lando (overland adventure vehicle) across open savanna and by traditional canoe into the Okavango Delta. Track mountain gorillas deep in the Ugandan tropical rainforest and search for the “big five” on safari drive in the Serengeti and listen to the thundering Victoria Falls to get a real sense of how large Africa truly is. Enjoy wilderness camping to bring you even closer to the region’s landscapes and wildlife and try not to blink because a jam-packed adventure awaits.
