The Rongai Route is one of the easiest routes and the success rate is very high. The route starts on the north side of the mountain just south of the Kenyan border, and is one of the least travelled routes. The descent is down the Marangu Route on the south side of the mountain, so climbers see the mountain from many viewpoints. The drive to the trail head takes about 3 hours from Moshi through many villages and coffee plantations, including a stop to register climbing permits at Marangu. The Rongai Route can also be accessed from Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Allow 2 hours including border crossing. We will need copies of passports ahead of time.

Machame Route: It is the most popular route at mountain Kilimanjaro and it is located at the southern part of the mountain. This route is very scenic and it has gradual ascent. You can climb it in 6days, 7days or 8 days depend with your time and budget it is camping route and one of the two ‘whisky’ routes in Mount Kilimanjaro. Climbing Machame in 8 days is very comfortable, and it provides enough time for acclimatization. No camp is skipped, also you will have opportunity to explore crater and overnight at the highest camp in Kilimanjaro, the route follows the pattern of hiking to a high altitude during the day and sleeping at a lower altitude at night, despite of crater camp.
The drive to Machame gate is an about 45 minutes from Moshi and it crosses the cultivation zone. You can see numerous of villages, coffee and banana farms on your way to the gate.

Londorosi route: It is also located at the western part of the mountain and you can climb it in 6-8 days. 7 Days Kilimanjaro Climb – Londorosi Route is also known as Shira Plateau. It is used rarely as it requires a 4 x 4 vehicle to drive you from Londorosi gate to the end of vehicle track 22km farther. This route is suitable only during the dry season. It is a popular route for honeymoon trips and people who like the trails which are not populated.
Climbing via Shira Plateau route looks similar to the Lemosho route. The only difference is that you’ll drive from Londorosi gate to Morrum barrier, about 22km, which takes less than 2 hour and the hike can start from there. Also via this route can be climbed for 6days, 7Days and 8days but we strongly recommend at least 7days itinerary in order to get more time for relax and acclimatization.

Tej S2025-11-26Great company, guides, and Kilimanjaro experience! Myself and 2 friends went with Eastland for the 8-day Kilimanjaro trek via Lemosho route, and had the adventure of a lifetime! We went as part of a group of 17, which included wonderful guides, porters, and cooks. All were so pleasant, positive, and helpful in making our hike memorable. Food, tents, bathrooms throughout were set up well and despite the extreme conditions on the mountain we were well taken care of. I came with friends and left with a family, go with Eastland! Shoutout to Charles and David our guides, and all we met on our journey.
Alessandra2025-09-18Safari perfetto e campi tendati WOW Daniel e il suo team ci hanno organizzato 5 giorni di safari che sono stati perfetti! Ci hanno seguito dall'arrivo all'aeroporto Kilimanjaro fino alla ripartenza per Zanzibar. Abbiamo pernottato in hotel ad Arusha e NgoroNgoro e poi in due campi tendati nel Serengeti. Abbiamo visitato i parchi Tarangire, NgoroNgoro e Serengeti Central e Nord. In particolare i campi tendati erano davvero di alto livello e gli autisti e le guide che ci hanno accompagnato (2 jeep con 2 autisti e 1 guida parlante italiano) veramente professionali, esperti e molto simpatici. Consigliatissimo per organizzare i vostri soggiorni in Tanzania!
aschneids152025-09-14Great experience for 4-day safari We hired Eastland to be our safari guide for a 4-day trip. Daniel (owner of the company) helped us plan the trip, he and the rest of the people involved were great to work with. Dilly was our guide and he was awesome! He was great to travel with, extremely knowledgeable, and accommodated whatever we needed. Dilly knows a bunch of other guides, which was very helpful. Each guide would let others where to find certain exotic animals if they came across them. We saw every animal we wanted to see (lions, hippos, elephants, monkeys, etc.) and saw a ton throughout the park. Highly recommend Eastland Adventures for a safari.
Alex S2025-09-11Wonderful Experience hiking Kilimanjaro! My wife and I hired Eastland Adventures to guide us on the 8-day Lemosho route to hike Kilimanjaro. It was an amazing experience thanks to our crew below! Guides - Charles and Erick Chef - Shedrack Waiter - Albini Private Restroom Porter - Mlay Porters 1. Denis 2. Petro 3. Rajabu 4. Natanaeli 5. Fredy 6. Juma The entire crew was extremely attentive, helpful, and overly accommodating. The whole crew was very helpful with assisting minor things that made the experience great, such as setting our tent up in optimal areas each night, helping us with our hiking needs (fixing water bladders, adjusting poles, etc.), and going above and beyond to ensure we summited the peak. Highly recommend this crew. Charles and Erick are guides you want to summit the mountain with. They were knowledgeable, motivating, and a pleasure to be around throughout the entire trip! We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and they were crucial to our success, helping us with whatever we needed. They even offered to carry our backpacks the night of the summit. Eastland Adventures is also a locally run company. We preferred supporting the local people and felt our experience with Erick and Charles was better than those who used larger international companies, from what we could see. We’ll remember this trip forever due to Charles, Erick, and the rest of the crew! Highly recommend Eastland Adventures if you want to summit Kilimanjaro.Miguel S2025-08-12Exceptional Kilimanjaro Trek Experience with an Incredible Team We had an unforgettable time trekking Kilimanjaro thanks to this amazing team. They supported us every step of the way, and their help was especially valuable during the final days at high altitude. A special thanks to KC and Msafiri for their expert guidance and encouragement, and to our “Stomach Engineer” for going above and beyond with delicious meals that kept our energy and spirits high. Truly an exceptional experience from start to finish!Kellie F2025-07-23Kilimanjaro Lemosho route, four day safari and balloon flight over Serengeti! Please do not look past this company! They were so attentive and supportive for our team of ten on the Kilimanjaro climb and safari tour. Before we even finished our sentence if we went to make a request, it was being acted upon! They fully understand the hiker experience and do everything in their power to make it the most enjoyable and rewarding journey right from the moment you step off the plane. A++ rating from our whole team!
Sally M2025-07-15Amazing adventure Hi Daniel and team, I would just like to say thank you for the amazing experience that I had with Eastland Adventures and Take Shape Adventures. Your team of guides and porters were absolutely fantastic. I especially love the conversations that I was able to have with Tlusa, David and Leo. I really appreciated Tlusa sharing his family stories with me and through David I have a much better understanding of Tanzania. The summit day, was exhilarating and very tiring, talking to David really helped me enjoy the walk down from the summit. Thank you so much to all your team, you have made my holiday absolutely incredible. Thanks Sally
Gill2025-07-13Highly recommend Eastland Adventures for climbing Kilimanjaro and 4-day Safari Climbing Kilimanjaro : Highly recommend Eastland Adventures for their attention to detail, skilled team and extraordinary service while climbing Kilimanjaro - what an awesome fun team they have - always thinking ahead to what we need each day, monitoring our health, keeping us safe, encouraged and well fed at all times. 4-day Safari : also excellent, our driver George knew the tracks so well and took us to so so many animals and safe picnic locations. We never felt rushed and were able to take our time for photos and just observing. He always checked with us before moving on.

Melle W2025-05-1411/10 RECOMMEND EASTLAND ADVENTURES for Kili climb! ❤️ Safe, knowledgeable, prepared, fun & successful! Climbing Kilimanjaro with Eastland Adventures was the experience of a lifetime. We were amazed by the large support team—many hands truly made light work. The guides were knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly supportive. They knew every detail of the mountain and made us feel safe at every step. Summit day was no joke, but when we got stuck, they carried our packs (on top of there's!!) when we struggled (still makes me tear up), helping us reach the top. The food was incredible (especially for being on a mountain!), and the accommodations before the climb were clean and secure. Everything was thoughtfully organized—even personalized mugs! Can’t recommend them enough. Feel free to message on IG: @mellewilliamson.
