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
Rongai is a tolerably troublesome course and is enthusiastically suggested, particularly for those with less exploring experience.
Albeit the landscape isn't pretty much as fluctuated as the western courses, Rongai compensates for this by going through obvious wild regions for almost the whole way.
Plummet is made through the Marangu course. Immortal Dream Travels offers Rongai as a seven days bunch climb or a six days climb.
The seven-day variety doesn't have an acclimatization day on day four at Mawenzi Tarn.

Best regards, Janice
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.
