5 Days Marangu Route
Description
Rongai Route: The Rongai route is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the north, close to the Kenyan border. Though gaining popularity amongst climbers, Rongai has low traffic. It is the preferred route for those looking for an alternative to the crowded Marangu & Machame route, for those who would like a more remote hike, and for those who are climbing during the rainy season as the north side receives less precipitation.

Everything was perfect. From the pick up at the airport to the climb to the drop off at the airport post-climb everything was fantastic. First, you are picked up at the airport by the CEO (Elly) and taken to your hotel which is an excellent hotel in Moshi. On day 1 of the climb you are picked up at your hotel by your team and are driven to the gate where the climb begins. Prior to this they do a very thorough gear check at the hotel to make sure you have everything you will need. Anything you need and don't have you can rent on the spot. It's a five day excursion. Day 1, 2, 3, an 5 are easy. Day 4 (summit day) is hard. My team, led by my guide Dulla, was amazing. I observed many of the guides from other companies who were there with other customers and I'm 100% sure Dulla was the best guide. It was not even close. He was on top of every detail throughout the five days. You needed something he had it. There was a problem he fixed it. Couldn't have asked for a better guide than Dulla. Some of the guides with the other companies didn't even make it to the summit on day 4 and had to turn back midway. Throughout the hike the food is good. The accommodation is also good. Once you hike back down to the gate you and your team are picked up and you are taken back to your hotel. Then the CEO (Elly) will come by to the hotel and ask for any feedback - he has a great attitude and work ethic. The next day he picks you up and drives you to the airport. Could not have asked for a better overall experience. The people from Golden Summit Adventures were fantastic.
