7 days Mt Kilimanjaro climbing - RONGAI (OLOITOKITOK) ROUTE
This used to be the route used by the Outward Bound Mountain School at Oloitokitok in Kenya. The border is open during daylight hours but all park fees and arrangements must be made (via an agent) at the Marangu Gate before starting on the route. It is possible to arrange transport from Marangu to Naremoru / Rongai. Only a limited number of groups are allowed on the route at any time and it may not be used in descent.
There are several big caves along the route, these are used by porters and tents should be carried. The "Outward Bound School" Hut is privately owned, no water or firewood in the vicinity. Allow 8 days for the traverse.
7 days Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing Umbwe route
A very strenuous walk up steep, slippery paths with many fallen trees to negotiate. The middle section follows a narrow spectacular ridge with magnificent views of the Great Barranco and Southern Icefields.
The Arrow Glacier/Western breach ascends is closed until further notice. Unfortunately four hikers were fatally injured (during December 2005) due to unpredictable rock falls on this ascend route. For the moment, please consider one of the other ascend routes which all offers an amazing experience. We will inform as soon as the route re-opens. Remember your safety is our main concern.
7 days Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing Lemosho route
This is the longest and most remote route to Kilimanjaro. After beautiful forests and moorlands it crosses the Shira Plateau to meet up with the Machame Route. Groups may be accompanied on the first day by an armed ranger as the forests around the Lemosho Glades are rich in buffalo, elephant and other game. The South Circuit is then followed, offering superb views of the Southern Icefields, past the Barranco Hut then on to Barafu and hence the summit. Descent is by the Mweka Route.
