Itinerary

For trekkers yearning for a quieter, more remote ascent of Africa’s tallest peak, the 6 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking – Rongai Route is a standout choice. This trip appeals to those seeking a less crowded, wilderness-oriented Kilimanjaro experience. Approaching the mountain from the north, close to the Kenyan border, the Rongai Route is renowned for its low foot traffic and drier conditions—making it especially attractive for those trekking during the rainy season.

While the scenery may be less varied compared to the western routes, the Rongai trek offers the unique advantage of traversing through untouched wilderness for several days before converging with the Marangu Route at Kibo camp. The descent follows the traditional Marangu path, offering a different perspective on your return journey.

With a minimum duration of six days (though seven is recommended for optimal acclimatization), this trekking tour is classified as moderately difficult and is well-suited to adventurous travelers, including those with less backpacking experience. Expect to hike through diverse landscapes, from forested foothills to alpine moorlands, all under the guidance of experienced local leaders.

The USP of this tour lies in its peaceful, off-the-beaten-path approach and its suitability for those looking to avoid the crowds—plus the benefit of a drier trek. Perfect for mountaineers who value tranquility and a genuine sense of adventure, this trip offers a rewarding way to conquer Kilimanjaro while enjoying the solitude of the northern slopes.

Great adventure!

We climbed the Kilimajaro by the Rongai Route. It was an amazing experience. 6 days there, walking, talking, eating, sharing... Es una ruta asequible, con un último dia de ascensión de dificultad media debido a la altitud y el frío. Hay que tomárselo con calma, disfrutar "pole pole", para saborear en las mejores condiciones la conquista de la cima.
