Kilimanjaro Success on Rongai Route!
Sophie B. · France · 21 Jun 2026

The 6-day Rongai Route was a fantastic choice. It's known for being drier and offering different views, which was true. Our guide was superb, very experienced, and kept us motivated. The porters were incredibly strong and always had a smile. The ascent was challenging, especially near the summit, but the support system made it manageable. Reaching Uhuru Peak was an emotional moment I'll never forget. A challenging but highly rewarding climb. Planning a return for 2026!
