Highlight

This route is considered by many as the easiest route to reach the Summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The route ascends from the north-eastern side of the mountain, along the border between Tanzania and Kenya and offers a different perspective due to its unspoilt wilderness and natural beauty.

Itinerary

Pick up from airport and transfer to accommodation in Arusha for an overnight stay.
Hiking: 5 hours (appox 18km)

In the morning, we will head to Marangu Park gate to register before commencing our hike on the Rongai trail through rainforests towards the first camp of the journey.
Hiking: 7 hours (approx 9km)

We continue our journey across moorlands towards Kibo, passing Second Cave (3450m) en-route before reaching Kikelwa Cave. The views start to open up and offer a great view of the water streams below inside the cave.
Hiking: 4 hours (approx 15km)

On Day 4, we will walk towards the jagged pinnacles of Mawenzi and camp at Mawenzi Tarn Camp. It is a short but steep climb and offers stunning views of the wilderness area. The vegetation zone ends shortly before we reach our next camp at Mawenzi.
Hiking: 5 hours (approx 13km)

We will cross a dessert area known as The Saddle, situated between Mawenzi and Kibo towards Kibo Hut and make our final preparations and rest before commencing our hike towards the Summit.
Hiking time: Approx 14 hours (approx 30km)

We commence our climb to the Summit at around midnight. Most of the journey follows a path of steep scree towards Gilman’s Point on the Crater Rim and is considered the most difficult part of the journey. We will then descend to camp for lunch and a short rest before continuing on to Horombo Hut.
Hiking time: 6 hours (approx 15km)

On our final day, we will leave Horombo Hut, heading towards the Marangu Gate and head back towards Arusha.

"I have been lucky to find Abraham while I was looking for a local tour operator to organize a tailored tour for my family and my friends."

Beautiful experience, visited Serengeti, Ngoro ngoro and Tarangire. We have seen, up close, all possible animals (except the leopard which, apparently, is very shy).
