Description

A goal for countless climbers from around the world, scaling Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m) is an experience you will look back upon for the rest of your life. And, on this 7-day journey, you will get to reach that summit by way of the Rongai Route.

Rapidly gaining popularity with climbers of Kilimanjaro, the Rongai Route is considered to be one of the easier of the peak’s many route options. Beginning at the north side of the peak, at the Rongai Gate, the climbing conditions along the route are much drier than other routes. However, despite the differences the Rongai Route has with other routes that will take you to the top of Kilimanjaro, one thing it does share with those routes are the unbelievable views you will get to enjoy throughout your trek on it. Moreover, the panoramic views from the summit of the seemingly endless landscape below will take your breath away.

Throughout our trek, we will spend our nights in camping tents. Thus giving you a chance to gaze up at the stars and moon above.

While the climbing of Kilimanjaro does not require any technical climbing experience, it is an exhausting expedition. As a result, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition.

If you would like to climb the tallest peak in Africa along a quieter, drier and easier route, then send a request and join us on the Rongai Route. We have no doubt you’ll an amazing adventure.

Would you like to enjoy a fun climb of Mount Kenya before you climb Kilimanjaro? Then come and join us on this 13-day trip.

The Climbing Guides and service in both Kenya and Tanzania were super (5+ stars) Kenya Shem, Joxhu, Joseph & Agustin super and thanks. For Kilimanjaro, Deus and Goodlucky were fantastic. However Claudios needs to update the schedule (Lake Nakuru day 7 was canceled) and make available lunches (they were missing on 3 days to and from Nairobi) and make clear when travel will be alone. Finally the Nairobi service agent pushes additional add on Nairobi packages. These are of poor value and should be avoided. These additional package coverage was misleading and I should have avoided completely. This was a Nairobi issue only. Everyone else was above board and super to work with. in summary, the climbs are great and highly recommended. Note the published schedule is not exact and deal with the Nairobi service agent with caution. (Don't take the additional offerings.) Overall it was a very good experience where I met with many great people. Thanks to all.

I had a successful hiking trip with Shem as my chief guide! We were successful in summiting Mt Kenya and came back down via the Chogoria route well! The team worked really well together and communication was professional as well as clear/transparent. I appreciated that every single person in the crew were up to task, responsible, and respectful. Shem, my guide, was very friendly and accomodating to my questions, needs and requests. He was also very kind and encouraging, i.e. encouraging me to walk on my own pace and take breaks while going up and down the mountains and valleys. The team also consisted of a cook, Augustine, and two porters - Joshua and Julius. They all seem to be working as a team really well. Augustine would check on how I feel each day (e.g. stomach and gut health) and he is such a good cook! Joshua and Julius are both quiet, strong and helpful porters. Despite the heavy loads on their backs, they would always have no problem getting to every destination on time (waaaaay earlier than me!). I had a great and memorable time in Mt Kenya. We started off the trek on the last day of 2023 and it was so special welcoming the new year above the clouds! I highly recommend for adventurers out there who are looking for the perfect team to enjoy Mt Kenya with to reach out to these guys! Ask for Shem as the guide -- guarantee that he won't disappoint! 😊

My partner and I had a fantastic experience hiking the Chogoria to Sirimon Mt Kenya route. The full team (Shem the guide, the chef (Gustin) and the Porters (Joshua, Peter, Jackson and Gilbert) were excellent and thoroughly looked after us. We were never hungry and the food was excellent and kept our energy levels up. When we were a little poorly they looked after us. Shem the guide always made sure we were OK, and was great at excellent the plants and sharing information about the surroundings. Would highly recommend this team.
