7 Day TK Rongai Climb & 3 Day Safari to Serengeti & Ngorongoro
Recommend arriving on 5th or 6th June. Awaiting decision on this.
Monday 7th June 2021: Arrive at Kilimanjaro International (JRO) airport at 2100.
Once you have completed customs formalities and collected your luggage, please exit the airport building and then look out for TK's driver who will be waiting under a shelter for you at the meeting point outside and should be carrying a placard with your name on it. Our driver will transfer you to your standard grade hotel in Arusha for your overnight stay in a twin room on a bed & breakfast basis.
For climbers arriving earlier in the day, the mountain guide will normally come to your hotel for your pre-climb briefing at approximately 1800, during which he will introduce himself, brief you on everything that will be happening throughout the duration of the climb, check any kit that you may have concerns over, issue any kit hire items that have been requested (if you hire any kit from us for your climb) and he will also deal with any final pre-climb administration and answer any questions you may have. However, if your flight arrives in the evening, your guide will briefly go discuss arrangements with you and check your gear after breakfast. If he perceives that you have any deficiencies in your personal gear beyond what you've already hired, this will incur a very short delay while he sends for some supplies from our office.

A very challenging climb with an arduous night spent at 5,729 metres, just 166 metres below the highest point in Africa - but with great acclimatisation en route followed by a safari that's perfect when the migration is in the north. Straight from the safari we head to Zanzibar for a couple of days in busy Stone Town, and end with four incredibly serene nights in an eco-lodge of a private island.
