Known for its peaceful ambiance and less crowded trails, the Rongai route offers a special connection with the mountain. Over 7 days, you’ll follow well-kept paths approaching Kilimanjaro from the north, treating you to some truly breathtaking views. What makes the Rongai Route stand out is its quieter, more intimate feel. It’s less traveled, giving you a chance to really soak in the mountain’s natural beauty. While the climb is a bit gentler, it’s still important to acclimatize well.

The push to the summit this time is a steady climb that takes you to Gilman’s Point, right on the crater rim, before a more level stretch gets you to the top at Uhuru Peak. It’s a victory you’ll remember forever! As you make your way back down, don’t forget to enjoy the incredible views, showcasing Kilimanjaro’s diverse ecosystems. The descent spans one and a half to two days, with a cozy overnight stop at a lower altitude for some well-deserved rest.

Rongai is perfect for those who prefer a quieter, more serene climb. Its unique approach from the north and the peaceful atmosphere make it a favorite for many. 

For a safe and successful climb, we highly recommend enlisting the expertise of experienced outfitters and guides.
