The Rongai route is relatively quiet and less crowded, and the nature that it captures is truly breathtaking.

Aleksy
· April 4th, 2025
Last month, I did the 7-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Rongai Route with Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris. And the experience was simply amazing. It all started in Arusha—the hotel, the hospitality, everything was perfect. I am impressed by the professionalism and sincerity of our guide and the entire crew team. The Rongai route is relatively quiet and less crowded, and the nature that it captures is truly breathtaking. After arriving at each camp, everything was ready for us in advance—food, water, and resting places. Every day the guide would check our body condition and measure the oxygen level so that we could reach the summit safely. I have never had such a beautiful, challenging, and relaxing experience in recent times. I am grateful to the entire team, especially our guide John, who was by our side throughout. If anyone dreams of conquering Kilimanjaro, I'd close my eyes and recommend Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris.
