Five Days Rongai Trek

Safari summary

This 5-day Rongai Route climb is designed for trekkers who want a quicker yet rewarding ascent of Kilimanjaro. Approaching from the north near the Kenyan border, the route is less crowded and features gradual slopes, giving climbers a higher chance of summit success.

Trek through rainforest, moorlands, and alpine desert with spectacular views of Mawenzi Peak and the Kenyan plains. The itinerary includes a pre-dawn summit attempt to Uhuru Peak at 5,895 meters, returning via the same trail to Rongai Gate.

Your experienced guides provide expert advice on pacing, acclimatization, and safety, while porters carry camping gear and set up comfortable tents. Meals on the mountain are prepared daily to maintain energy. After the descent, relax at a lodge in Moshi and celebrate your achievement.

This short itinerary is ideal for climbers with limited time but still seeking a complete Kilimanjaro experience.
