    The Machame Route was an incredible adventure! Each day had its own unique scenery, from the rainforest to the barren lava ridges. The climb up the Barranco Wall was exciting and a highlight of the trek. Summit night was the hardest part, but standing on Uhuru Peak and watching the sunrise made all the effort worthwhile. This route is a great balance of challenge and scenery for those looking for a true adventure.

    The Rongai Route was perfect for me because I wanted a quieter, more remote experience. The trail was peaceful, and the views were stunning. We even got to see some wildlife, like antelope and monkeys, along the way. The gradual ascent made it easier to acclimatize, and the scenery changed dramatically every day. The final push to the summit was challenging, but seeing the sunrise from Uhuru Peak was worth it.

    The Rongai Route was the perfect choice for a quiet and scenic climb. It starts on the northern side of the mountain, offering a completely different perspective compared to the busier southern routes. I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the chance to spot wildlife like antelope and monkeys. The summit night was tough, but the sunrise at Uhuru Peak was breathtaking. This route is ideal for those seeking solitude and a gradual climb.

    Rongai is one among the best route of Kilimanjaro We were on the hike for a week! We were particularly enthusiastic about our experienced guide Edward! He made it possible for us to have a perfect week - with incredibly great hiking experiences. Thanks a lot for this :) Machame as the popular route is the best for acclimatization!

    We used KWESA tours for a 6 day safari and Kilimanjaro hike this october. Absolutely amazing experience for both. We definitely would not have made it to the summit without our amazing guides, Edward and Chalice. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone, especially if traveling with children. They made the experience so much fun for my 15 year old son. Our guide for the safari, Joseph massawe , was equally impressive. He had so much information on all the animals and was so kind and accommodating throughout our safari. This was the trip of a lifetime and we were so grateful to everyone that made the experience wonderful.
