Safari summary
Welcome to our 6 Days Kilimanjaro Climbing via Rongai Route Group Joining - Rongai is the Easier Routes and only Route that approach from the North of Kilimanjaro. Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest mountain and the world’s largest free-standing mountain its about 5,895 meters (19,340 feet).
The Rongai Route is one of the trekking paths leading to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. This route is situated on the northeastern side of the mountain and is known for its relatively low traffic, providing a quieter and more secluded climbing experience compared to some other routes.
The Rongai Route is often chosen by climbers seeking a less crowded journey and a diverse range of landscapes. The trek typically begins near the Kenyan border, and as climbers ascend, they traverse through different ecological zones, including lush rainforests, moorlands, and high-altitude alpine deserts. One distinctive feature of the Rongai Route is its approach from the drier and flatter north, offering unique views and a different perspective of Kilimanjaro. The route is considered to be less strenuous in terms of elevation gain during the initial days, allowing for better acclimatization. Climbers following the Rongai Route usually take 6 to 7 days to reach the summit, with well-established campsites providing resting points along the way. The route culminates at Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.
