7-Day Kilimanjaro Rongai Route – Shared Group Trek

Experience the 7-Day Kilimanjaro Rongai Route Trek with Kilita Safaris — a licensed Tanzanian mountain operator based in Moshi at the foot of Kilimanjaro. This is a joining group departure: you climb on fixed dates alongside other adventurers, sharing costs while our certified guides, cooks and porters lead you safely toward Uhuru Peak (5,895 m).

The route offers excellent acclimatization, dramatic landscapes from rainforest to alpine desert, and the camaraderie of a small group trek. Kilita Safaris handles every detail — airport transfers, Moshi hotel nights, park and camping fees, meals on the mountain, and all camping equipment — so you can focus on the climb.

Whether you are a first-time climber or returning for another route, our local expertise, 24/7 support and best-price guarantee make this one of Tanzania's most trusted Kilimanjaro packages. Read our joining group guides or compare routes on the Kilimanjaro joining group hub.

Duration: 7 days. From: $2,100 per person. Browse more on our Joining Group Guides page or see all climbs on Kilimanjaro Joining Group or read guides on Safari Info and Kilimanjaro Info.
