About this experience
Embark on this thrilling 6-day Kilimanjaro Rongai hiking adventure and enjoy captivating scenic vistas and pristine wildlife on the way to the peak of Africa. One of the least traveled routes where you can enjoy the ultimate intimacy and wilderness. This shorter trail is great for travelers with tough schedule and recommended mostly to regular hikers (if you have previous high-altitude experience, it will make your acclimatization even smoother).
Our professional climbing crews will take care of your safety and comfort. Overnight stays are in our walk-in tents (designed by us and customized for Kilimanjaro), the “kitchen” team will surprise you with their cooking skills, and the porters will carry all equipment. The guides will be leading your way, excitedly sharing their knowledge of this amazing Mount.
Pre and post-climb accommodation (included) will be in a cosy hotel in the foothills of Kilimanjaro. Airport transfers included
