6 Days Rongai Route Kilimanjaro Climbing
The Rongai Route is a 6-day hiking trip on Mount Kilimanjaro, starting on the north side of the mountain just south of the Kenyan border. The route starts on the north side of the mountain and merges with the Marangu Route for the summit climb. The itinerary includes a 3-day hike to Simba Camp, Kikelewa Camp, Mawenzi Turn Hut, Kibo Huts camp, Uhuru Peak, and Horombo Huts camp.
The journey begins with an early breakfast in a hotel, followed by a 2-3 hours’ drive to Rongai. The hike begins on a wide path through fields of maize and potatoes, then into the Montana forest. The forest begins to thin as you arrive at Simba Camp, offering stunning views of the Kenyan plains.
The hike continues to Kikelewa Camp, Mawenzi Turn Hut, and Horombo Huts camp. The final day involves descending through the moorland to Mandara Huts, where you have lunch and continue your descent through lush forest to Marangu Park Gate. After a long and enjoyable sleep, you will be picked up and descend through the moorland to Mandara Huts. The journey ends at Marangu Park Gate, where you sign out and return to the hotel for a certificate presentation and celebration of descending.
