Tailor-made is our business.
Our Tanzania itineraries are like the spots on a leopard's coat - each one is different. We'll tailor-make your trip to suit your individual needs rather than simply asking you to choose.
Routes Overview
The Rongai begins the north side of the mountain only south of the Kenyan boundary and is one of the most un-voyaged courses.
The Rongai joins the Marangu for the culmination climb, then, at that point, you slip the Marangu Route on the mountain's southeast side, so you see Kilimanjaro from many viewpoints.
There are two renditions of this journey – an immediate 6-day schedule, agenda that takes a more extended course.
The more catalyst 6-day schedule is portrayed underneath and the more drawn out variety is depicted in the additional day's segment.

The trip was absolutely perfect! I could use all the adjectives to describe each moment of it, but I would still run out of them. We LOVED every moment of it.
