Kilimanjaro Trekking - Rongai route

5.0(1 review)

The Rongai route begins at the remote northern side of Kilimanjaro near the Kenyan border. We will be hiking through a true wilderness area towards the jagged Mawenzi Peak then cross a barren desert before climbing up Kibo’s eastern crater wall. The Rongai route is a more slow ascent and is therefore preferred by those with little or no backpacking experience but is equally enjoyable for even the most hardened Kilimanjaro climbers. During the climb you will have 5 nights of full-service camping, with a private toilet tent. There is a large communal tent, which is used for dining and at other times in the event of inclement weather. Limited single accommodation is also available and includes a single tent as well as the hotel nights. We can arrange extra accommodation before or after the trip if needed.

Kilimanjaro Climb Rongai Route 8 Days

5.0(4 reviews)

Zara Tours leads treks up the unique Rongai Route known to be more scenic than the Marangu Route, easier than the Machame Route, and the success rate on the Rongai is very high. Unlike the Marangu Route where you sleep in huts, on the Rongai you sleep in tents (tents are included), and our porters will pitch your tent for you. Meals are served in a dinner tent or on a blanket outside. The Kilimanjaro Rongai route starts on the north side of the mountain just south of the Kenyan border, and is one of the least traveled routes. The Rongai route joins the Marangu route before the summit climb, then you descend the Marangu Route on the mountain's southeast side.

7 Day Mount Kilimanjaro trekking through Rongai route

5.0(1 review)

Seeking a less-trodden path to Africa’s highest peak? The 7 Day Mount Kilimanjaro trekking through Rongai route offers a unique ascent from the north, skirting the Kenyan border and revealing Kilimanjaro’s wilder side. This trip is a standout for those who prefer solitude over crowds, especially compared to the busier Marangu route. The Rongai route’s primary allure is its tranquil, remote wilderness, making it a perfect trekking adventure for those craving a quieter journey. The trail’s moderate difficulty—recommended for climbers with limited backpacking experience—ensures it’s accessible yet rewarding. Over seven days, you’ll traverse unspoiled landscapes, spending several days immersed in pristine nature before merging with the Marangu descent at Kibo camp. This route is also ideal for trekkers planning their climb during the rainy season, as the north side receives less precipitation. Although the scenery is somewhat less varied than on the western routes, the sense of isolation and the opportunity to connect deeply with nature more than compensates. For travelers seeking a Kilimanjaro tour package that combines accessibility, tranquility, and adventure, the Rongai route is a highly recommended choice—its USP lies in offering a more intimate and less crowded Kilimanjaro experience.

Seven-Day Kilimanjaro Climb: Rongai Route

5.0(1 review)

The Rongai route is the only trail that starts from the northern, or Kenyan, side of Mount Kilimanjaro. Because of its remote location, this route offers trekkers a relatively unspoilt wilderness experience whereby climbers can see large wildlife like antelopes, elephants and buffalos. Additionally, since the northeastern side of the mountain receives significantly less moisture than the southern slopes, climbers are less likely to encounter rain and there is a high chance of enjoying clear, unclouded views of the mountain. Join us on this seven-day, guided journey to the top of Africa through the route less taken. We will pick you up on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and drive you to your hotel in Moshi. Your journey starts on the second day with a drive from Moshi to Marangu Park Gate. The trek starts in earnest from the Rongai trailhead. Ascend to the top via Simba Camp, Kikelewa Cave, Mawenzi Tarn Camp and Kibo Hut. Although the Rongai route is flatter than other Mount Kilimanjaro routes, the push to the summit from Kibo Hut is steep and follows the same path taken by those using the Marangu route. Once you have summited the mountain, the descent is made through the Marangu route. Please note that the tour price also includes two night's accommodation in Moshi, one night each before and after the climb. For more details, please scroll down.
