Meet the expedition team, complete entry checks and begin the professionally guided mountain programme. Spend the first night at an approved campsite.


Northern landscapes and a quieter approach to Kilimanjaro on the Rongai Route, with authorised camping, Mawenzi Tarn and guided support.
Journey overview
A guided Rongai climb focused on the northern aspect of Kilimanjaro, with contrasting northern mountain scenery and authorised camping.
The campsite sequence is a planning model rather than an instruction for independent trekking, and the final route, including how any extra acclimatisation days are incorporated, is agreed with the licensed mountain team.
Your climb is led by a licensed mountain team, and pace, acclimatisation and summit decisions are always guided by safety. The price is quoted for your travel dates and group size.
