Kilimanjaro - Rongai Route

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

If you’re seeking a quieter, more remote ascent of Kilimanjaro, the Rongai Route is an excellent choice. Approaching from the north, near the Kenyan border, this route offers solitude and is especially suitable for those trekking during the rainy season, as the northern slopes receive less precipitation. The seven-day itinerary allows for proper acclimatization, enhancing your chances of reaching the summit. Trekkers will pass through wilderness areas, spot wildlife such as elephants and buffalo, and enjoy the tranquility of less-traveled paths before joining the Marangu Route at Kibo Hut for the final push to the summit. While the scenery may be less varied compared to western approaches, Rongai’s USP is its remoteness and accessibility, making it a moderately difficult yet achievable trek for those with less backpacking experience. This tour package is ideal for hikers desiring a successful and peaceful Kilimanjaro climb.
