Kilimanjaro Climb by Rongai Route 6 days
Description
The Rongai route is one of the most favourable routes to attempt Kilimanjaro during the rainy season, as it sees substantially less rain than the southern routes. The route ‘also known as the Nalemuru route’ is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the North, close to the Kenyan border. Rongai route offers a true wilderness experience in the early stages of the climb, it is the preferred route for those looking for an alternative to the crowded Marangu route, for those who want a more remote hike and for those who climb during the rainy season (the north side receives less precipitation). Our professional climbing crews will take care of your safety and comfort. Our expert local team will surprise you with their cooking skills and the porter will carry all mountain equipment. The guides will be leading the route and sharing their knowledge about the mountain, culture and history of Tanzania. Our cost includes Pre and post-climb accommodation and airport transfer.

Hilbas tours are the best! I want to highly recommend Hilbas tours! They were very professional and knowledgeable. From my very first communications via text and email to the end of my trek when they delivered me to my safari guide. I was picked up at the airport last in the evening and driven to my beautiful hotel. The accommodations they provided were five star. Each hotel had a pool and restaurant. All of my needs were met and exceeded my expectations! They helped me secure my gear the day before my trek on Kilimanjaro and made sure I had everything I would need. The guide and team leader, Hillary was exceptional and I felt safe the whole time I was hiking. He monitored my health throughout the day and tested me every evening for mountain sickness. My dietary needs were taken into consideration and my vegan/vegetarian meals were some of the best I've ever enjoyed on an excursion, thanks to my chef, Samson. The care I received while I was in camp was impeccable. Michael my waiter and now good friend, made sure I had every I needed to be successful each day. If you are planning to hike Kilimanjaro, you definitely should use Hilbas Tours! It was an adventure of a lifetime!

Bariki and his team were fantastic. We had 16 total climbers and 13 of us made it to the Uhuru peak! 1 of my friends was needing to get some additional care and Bariki's team did so much to make sure he was well taken care and to safety. They quality of the tents, food and their expert knowledge made it a great experience. I've climbed twice and both times with Bariki. I wouldn't imagine ever doing it with anyone else. He brings such great, positive energy and decades of experience.

Amazing experience which will remain one of the best of my life! The staff has been perfect, the guides always very professionnal, kind and helpful. The cook prepared a lot of delicious dishes. The team of porters has been very professionnal too, always very helpful too. The trek has been perfect, the weather very nice and sunny. We had a briefing every evening to prepare the next day and even a medical check up to assure we were healthy enough to go further. We all of us (we were 6) reached the summit which was of course such a magical moment that it is impossible to describe with words!

We had an amazing adventure climbing Kili! The team were amazing and super helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Hilary (Hils). The cool calm encouragement all of the way, the confidence that only comes from 100s of trips up the mountain! I would 100% recommend a trip with the Hilbas Team!
