Kilimanjaro Climbing Rongai Route

6-Day Rongai Route (September 23) I climbed Kilimanjaro with Habari Adventure via the Rongai Route, and it was a peaceful, less crowded experience. The guides were attentive, and the porters were cheerful, making the trek feel safe and supported. The scenic views of the northern face and the Kenyan plains were breathtaking. The team’s support, from meals to gear handling, was top-notch. Reaching the summit was a remarkable achievement, and I’d highly recommend Habari for their professionalism

We climbed Kilimanjaro as a trio—mom, dad, and 10-year-old adventurer—and the Marangu Route turned our fears into footprints. This "easy" path was a clever trick: steep, swift, and shockingly green, like hiking through a lost kingdom. The kids beat the altitude with giggles, collecting rocks at every milestone. Porters treated us like royalty: hot water bottles in bunks, midnight cocoa, and a "no-sugar" policy for the chocolate stash. Summit night was a moonlit scramble, and the peak’s silence felt like a shared secret. It wasn’t perfect—the huts were noisy, and the "welcome meal" tested our stomachs—but Habari Adventure’s heart shone through. They celebrated every step, even the 100th rock skipped. We left with more than a photo: a reminder that "we did it" beats "I did it." Pro tip: pack extra batteries—the views deserve a full camera.

This October, when life was hitting me hard, I decided to hit reset with a trip organized by Habari Adventure… and let me tell you, it blew my mind! Me, my boyfriend, and our girls squad embarked on the longest, most thrilling six-day Rongai Route escapade, and trust me—it was pure madness and joy mixed together. From the moment we arrived, the cheerful guides, Mr. Michael and Mr. Gabriel, made us feel like we had known them forever. They took us around, introducing us to giraffes, lions, elephants—you name it—and turned every encounter into a hilarious adventure. It honestly felt like we were living in a wildlife blockbuster movie! And the laughter… oh my! We were cracking up non-stop. At one point, we had to beg the driver to pause the ride so we could recover from laughing so hard ????. The jokes, playful pranks, and endless teasing made the trip unforgettable. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro? Absolute magic! Thanks to Habari Adventure, even the steepest parts of the Rongai Route felt like a breeze. Our guides stuck with us every step of the way—cheering, motivating, and sometimes dragging us up—until we finally conquered the summit. And the view from the top? Utterly breathtaking! Evenings were equally epic. Mr. Abdi made sure we soaked in Tanzanian culture, while Sir Thomas and his team spoiled us with mouthwatering meals. Our tents were cozy, and we spent nights playing games, laughing until our stomachs hurt, and just being silly together. By the end, I completely forgot all the stress I came with. I didn’t even want to leave! I had found a home, a family, and a bunch of partners-in-crime in Habari Adventure. So if you’re craving a long, wild, hilarious, and unforgettable adventure, the Rongai Route with Habari Adventure is where you need to be. Go on… your future self will thank you!
