8 Day Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek (Rongai Route)

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Venture off the well-trodden path with the 8 Day Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek via the Rongai Route, a unique journey that approaches Africa’s tallest peak from its remote northeastern flank bordering Kenya. This route, prized for its sense of unspoiled wilderness, offers trekkers a rare perspective of Kilimanjaro. While the Rongai ascent doesn’t allow for the typical ‘climb high, sleep low’ principle (making an extra acclimatization day advisable), it rewards with solitude and stunning vistas. The trek culminates on the classic Kibo summit path to Gilman’s Point before descending via the Marangu Route. This tour is ideal for hikers seeking a quieter, distinctive Kilimanjaro experience and for those eager to witness diverse landscapes and wildlife. Its USP: The Rongai Route’s tranquil trails, allowing for a more intimate connection with the mountain’s raw beauty.

Kilimanjaro - marangu route

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

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.

Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route - Private Trip

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

The Marangu route is one of the most popular routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive route, but more so, perhaps the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu route in 5 days, thereby getting to the summit one day earlier compared to the Machame route. This is not always the best way, due to a shorter acclimatisation period. The Marangu route does however offer you the option of spending an extra acclimatisation day on the mountain. This extends the route into a 6-day trek, greatly increasing your chances of success. This offer includes the 6 days trekking, and the trip will in total take 8 days including arrival and departure from Tanzania. Shared hut accommodation on the Marangu route forms one of the main differences, compared to the other kilimanjaro routes. It offers you the relative luxury of being able to sleep in huts along the entire route. Mineral water, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are also sold at all the camps on this route. All your equipment and supplies are portered and a cook prepares all your meals. This will be a climbing adventure of a lifetime. No previous mountaineering experience is needed. We will take care of your safety and make the utmost out of your trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro.
