Day 1: Arrival and Preparation:

Upon arrival in Tanzania, participants will be greeted by our knowledgeable guides and transferred to the bustling city of Moshi, nestled at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. After a warm welcome and a briefing session, trekkers will have an opportunity to rest and acclimate themselves to the local climate. Accommodation arrangements in comfortable lodges will be made to ensure a relaxed and restful night before the thrilling adventure begins.

Day 2-4: Rongai Route – The Path Less Travelled:

The Rongai Route, known for its less-crowded trails and serene beauty, is the chosen path for our Kilimanjaro trek. On Day 2, participants will embark on a scenic drive to the Rongai Gate, where the trek officially commences. The journey begins through lush rainforests, filled with the sounds of exotic birds and glimpses of wildlife. Trekkers will steadily ascend, passing through various vegetation zones, including moorlands and heath, while relishing spectacular vistas of the surrounding landscapes.

Day 5-7: Alpine Desert and Summit Ascent:

As the trek progresses, the landscape transitions into the ethereal beauty of the alpine desert. Trekkers will cross vast open plains, surrounded by dramatic rock formations and stunning glaciers. Experienced guides will lead the way, ensuring the safety and well-being of each participant. The days will be dedicated to acclimatisation, with strategic rest stops and short hikes to higher altitudes, allowing the body to adjust gradually to the thinning air.

The highlight of the expedition awaits on Day 7, as trekkers prepare for the summit push.

Battling fatigue and the thin air, participants will summon their inner strength and determination to conquer the summit. As the first rays of dawn pierce the horizon, trekkers will be rewarded with an awe-inspiring view that stretches as far as the eye can see—an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

After reaching the summit, trekkers will descend gradually, traversing through various landscapes and reflecting on the magnitude of their achievement. Each step taken is a testament to their resilience and unwavering spirit. As they make their way back to the base, trekkers will encounter local communities, fostering cultural exchange and creating lasting memories.
