kilimanjaro unforgettable

Rongai route

The Rongai Route is the only route up the north-eastern part of the mountain. Second to the Marangu Route in terms of difficulty, this path is also gaining popularity due to the stunning and unique wilderness conditions it features. You spend several days hiking through true wilderness before joining up with the Marangu Route at Kibo Camp.

Caves along the way offer an opportunity to overnight in a completely unique fashion, and the route is a popular choice for those wanting to avoid the Marangu crowds.

It is a six or seven-day trek, depending on the itinerary chosen by the trekking company, and offers stunning views of the mountain and the surrounding landscape.
