Simba Camp

Simba Camp is the first overnight campsite on the Rongai Route of Mount Kilimanjaro, located at approximately 2,625 meters (8,612 feet) above sea level. Positioned on the northern side of the mountain, the camp offers climbers a quieter and less crowded trekking experience compared to the southern routes.

The trail to Simba Camp passes through farmland, pine forest, and moorland vegetation before opening into scenic mountain landscapes. The camp provides beautiful views of the Kenyan plains and the surrounding northern slopes of Kilimanjaro. Its gradual ascent makes it an ideal starting point for acclimatization.

Accommodation at Simba Camp is tent-based, with designated camping areas for trekkers and support crews. The peaceful atmosphere and cool mountain environment create a comfortable first night on the mountain.
