The Rongai Route approaches Kilimanjaro from the north and retains a sense of untouched wilderness lost on the crowded Marangu and Machame trails. The easiest of all the routes, it has a relatively gentle gradient and short daily stages as it winds its way from the starting point just south of the Kenya-Tanzania border.
Get off the beaten track on the tougher ‘Machame’ climb. This is a fully supported 6-day camping trip through a remote wilderness area, with great access to the remaining glaciers and the western breach.
Approaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro by the challenging Shira Route is an exhilarating option for walkers keen to explore less trodden trails and who are comfortable in variable mountain conditions.Watch our
Starting in the foothills of 2,590m tall Mt. Longdio, a sacred Maasai mountain, you will trek across the floor of the Great Rift Valley right to the foothills of the visually stunning Crater Highlands with the Maasai as your guides. En route, you will also have the chance to visit Mt Kitumbeine; on whose higher slopes are hidden remote Maasai settlements.
Our Kili trek gives you the best chance of reaching the summit, spectacular scenery and wildlife, and an insight into the natural history and cultures of the environments and peoples we meet.
The Machame route is one of the most scenic routes by which to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It is less used than the Marangu route and all the better for it. You ascend from the western side of Kilimanjaro and descend down the south face.
