Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
This is by far the best route for climbing Kilimanjaro. Days 3-6 go up & down to get you acclimatized before summitting on day 7. Don't do it any shorter than 8 days.
The porters worked tirelessly and always had a smile, and the cook prepared hot, tasty meals even at high altitudes. The tents were clean and comfortable, and the equipment was high quality. Communication from the office was clear and responsive before, during, and after the trek

Fantastic guides, porters, team. Great value for what you pay. Without this fanatastic team my father and I would not have made it to Uhuru peak. Great communication and service by Noel and his staff. We also did a 3-day safari with a professional and very knowledgeable guide/driver. Tiloma lodge was beautiful and great quality service/food.
The first day of our safari we visited Tarangire National Park. The highlight was definately the enormeous amount of elephants that we saw. But the whole park was unbelieveable beautiful and stuffed with wildlife. The time there flew way to fast! I would like to visit it again at a time when the Tarangire river is flowing.
On day two we went to the Ngorongoro crater. The view from the top is very scenic, and the crater itself is filled with a lot of different animals. We spotted a black rhino, a pack of hyenas chasing an ostrich and countless lions.
We used local travel specialists and service was outstanding. We had good nutrition and a competent guide, which is all that is needed. We took a guided town tour of Moshi before our climb, which was a great cultural experience. We totally recommend Rongai route for Kilimanjaro Hiking.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is challenging, but with this tour operator it felt safe, well cared for, and truly enjoyable. I couldn't t recommend them enough to anyone planning this adventure!
Our guides (Peter and Daniel) amazing guides and very experienced. They checked our gear before the hike to ensure we had everything we needed. They monitored our heat rate and oxygen levels each night. They knew when we needed encouragement and went above and beyond to get all eight of us to the summit. The porters that carried our tents, food, etc were friendly and helpful. The local tour operator knows their stuff. We could not have done it without them. We highly recommend them if you are planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.

We climbed the Kilimajaro by the Rongai Route. It was an amazing experience. 6 days there, walking, talking, eating, sharing... Es una ruta asequible, con un último dia de ascensión de dificultad media debido a la altitud y el frío. Hay que tomárselo con calma, disfrutar "pole pole", para saborear en las mejores condiciones la conquista de la cima.
The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife.

We saw sights I will never forget. Our guide made a great effort to allow us to see rare events. We saw every animal you could ever expect to see in Africa. Lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs with cubs, cheetahs eating a kill. All of these were at close range. Our guide Rashid had incredible knowledge of all of the animal and plant life we encountered. As a bonus Rashid gave us an amazing history lesson about Tanzania. Our meals were excellent and varied. Just an incredible trip.
