Starting from the Rongai gate, the route traverses several diverse climate zones, and each produces its own amazing views and experiences. Because of its remote location the route offers trekkers a relatively unspoilt wilderness experience where it is possible to see large wildlife like antelope, elephant and buffalo. Heading up to Kikelewa Caves on day two, the views start to open up, with the Amboseli Plains of Kenya stretching into the distance. The route continues up to the mountain’s second summit at Mawenzi, before crossing the Saddle, a barren plain that connects the two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo. After reaching the summit, the descent is along the more heavily travelled Marangu route, offering you the chance to see Mount Kilimanjaro from both sides.

Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The local Kololo tribe calls it “mosi-oa-tuna” or “the smoke that thunders”. Situated on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls is where the steadily flowing Zambezi River, unaware of what lies ahead, casually approaches the falls, then suddenly plunges down a series of basalt gorges in a breathtaking display of several waterfalls. The falls are best seen from the air, thus activities such as helicopter flights, balloon rides, and micro-lighting over the falls are a must-do.
