8 Day Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek (Rongai Route) - May 2026

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Venture off the well-trodden path with the 8 Day Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek via the Rongai Route, a unique journey that approaches Africa’s tallest peak from its remote northeastern flank bordering Kenya. This route, prized for its sense of unspoiled wilderness, offers trekkers a rare perspective of Kilimanjaro. While the Rongai ascent doesn’t allow for the typical ‘climb high, sleep low’ principle (making an extra acclimatization day advisable), it rewards with solitude and stunning vistas. The trek culminates on the classic Kibo summit path to Gilman’s Point before descending via the Marangu Route. This tour is ideal for hikers seeking a quieter, distinctive Kilimanjaro experience and for those eager to witness diverse landscapes and wildlife. Its USP: The Rongai Route’s tranquil trails, allowing for a more intimate connection with the mountain’s raw beauty.
