Thanks to its gradual ascent profile, the route allows excellent acclimatization and plenty of time to enjoy the changing landscapes before joining other routes later in the climb. This itinerary also includes a rare overnight camp at the crater, adding an unforgettable highlight to the journey.

Embark on a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the Rongai Route, approaching the mountain from the north near the Kenya–Tanzania border. This lesser-used route remained largely untouched for many years due to its sensitive location, making it one of the quietest approaches to the summit.
Now fully open for trekking, the Rongai Route is considered by experienced guides to be easier than the popular Marangu Trail, with a high summit success rate and scenic, gradual ascent. The trek begins through cultivated farmland and forest, offering occasional wildlife sightings, before continuing through multiple climate zones on the way to Africa’s highest peak.

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.

The Marangu route is one of the most popular routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive route but more so perhaps the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu route in 5 days thereby getting to the summit one day earlier compared to the Machame route. This is not always the best way due to a shorter acclimatization period. That is one thing to take into account before decided to do the Marangu route.
Nobody, even how fit they are, know how their body will respond in high altitude. If you want to increase your chances for making a successful summit, we recommend the Machame route.
The shared hut accommodation on the Marangu route is one of the main differences compared to the other routes, where you have to camp. Mineral water, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are also sold at all the camps on this route.
All your equipment and supplies are portered and our cook will prepares all your meals.
