Hiking on the Rongai Route

The Rongai Route approaches Mt. Kilimanjaro from the north and retains a sense of untouched wilderness. This is a quieter route that’s great for hikers who want to experience the mountain without excess traffic. It has a gentle gradient and short daily stages as it winds its way from the starting point just south of the Kenya-Tanzania border. It passes through farmland and forest, past Alpine moorland to the beautiful summit cone, all the while offering hikers amazing views of Kenya stretching below and Mawenzi Peak towering above. On Day 6, you will be put to the test as you take of the most incredible ascent of your life to the top of Kilimanjaro!

Malawi Insight Trip

You will have the unique experience to meet the people you will raise money for. Led by our staff, you will sit face-to-face with the mothers and families you have directly impacted.

Why We're Hiking

Your efforts will help power life-changing transformations for women in Malawi living on less than $1 per day. Each hiker is responsible for fundraising $20,000, which will change the lives 10 women and their families as they enter Opportunity’s program and start a business, earn an income, feed their families, and send their children to school. Team Opportunity will collectively aim to help 140 families break the cycle of generational poverty!

Just as these women are equipped with training and support to achieve their goals, you will receive fundraising coaching, team support, resource toolkits, and the platform to share your story.
