Rongai Route

Rongai Route has been one of the favourite routes for many Kilimanjaro Climbers.  And, interestingly this is the only route which approaches Kilimanjaro from the north side. If you’re looking for quieter and more relaxed trekking, then Rongai Route should be at the top of the list.

Rongai Route is considered less scenic compared to other Kilimanjaro Routes. Still, this trail passes through a wide range of diverse landscapes including lush rainforests to alpine meadows. Rongai Routes also let you spot a variety of wildlife. Moreover, as this route approaches from the North-side, which is less prone to rainfall, you will get an undisrupted and cloudless view of the mountain.

Rongai Route takes 6-8 days to complete, and you can choose two itineraries, 6 days- 7 days. We suggest you chose 7 day – itinerary over 6 days as that one extra day will help you adjust your body to acclimatise to high altitude.

Compared to other routes Rongai Route is easy as it has an incline throughout. And, it does not require any technical climbing or any previous climbing experience. The only requirement is you need a good pair of hiking boots.

Rongai Route is made for first-time climbers and those who have little or no climbing experience. What makes this route a good choice for climbers, is its stunning scenery, good acclimatization opportunities and peaceful atmosphere.
