6 Days Rongai Route - Kilimanjaro Climb

The Rongai route is one of the most favourable routes to attempt Kilimanjaro during the rainy season, as it sees substantially less rain than the southern routes.

The route ‘also known as the Nalemuru route’ is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the North, close to the Kenyan border. The route offers a true wilderness experience in the early stages of the climb and fewer acclimatization opportunities.

It is less scenic and flat than other routes. Rongai has low traffic. It is the preferred route for those looking for an alternative to the crowded Marangu route, for those who want a more remote hike, and for those who climb during the rainy season (the north side receives less precipitation).

The minimum number of days required for this route is 6 days. However, 7 days are recommended because a 6-day variation does not have an acclimatization day on day 4 at Mawenzi Tarn Hurt. This route descends through the Marangu route.
