Itinerary

Take on the challenge of Africa’s highest peak with the Kilimanjaro Climb Rongai Route—a strenuous, 8-day trekking adventure designed for experienced travelers. Starting and ending in Marangu, this guided small group tour follows the less-traveled northern approach, offering a quieter, wilder ascent through farmlands, forests, and alpine moorlands.

With a gradual gradient and an extra day for acclimatization at the dramatic Mawenzi Tarn Camp, the route maximizes your chances of summit success. The final ascent begins before dawn, rewarding climbers with an unforgettable sunrise over the East African plains. As a unique touch, every booking supports the Mountain Lioness Project, making your achievement even more impactful.

Accommodation, transport, meals, and expert guidance are provided, ensuring you can focus on the adventure and the camaraderie of your group. If you’re seeking an epic trekking tour package with a meaningful cause, this Kilimanjaro climb sets the stage for a life-changing experience.
