The Rongai Route is the only path that approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the northern side, offering a unique and more remote trekking experience. Second in difficulty to the Marangu Route, it’s gaining popularity for its stunning wilderness and less crowded conditions.

The route takes you through pristine, untouched landscapes, providing a true wilderness experience before joining the Marangu Route at Kibo Camp. Along the way, trekkers can overnight in caves, adding a unique element to the journey.

The Rongai Route can be completed in either 6 or 7 days, depending on the itinerary, and offers breathtaking views of the mountain and surrounding scenery. It’s a great option for those seeking a quieter alternative to the busier routes.
