7-Day Kilimanjaro Climb via Rongai Route (A Remote and Scenic Ascent from Kilimanjaro’s Northern Side)

The 7-day Rongai Route offers a unique approach to Kilimanjaro, starting from the quiet northern side near the Kenyan border. This less-crowded trail provides a more remote experience with steady, gradual climbs, making it ideal for acclimatization and summit success. You’ll pass through unspoiled wilderness, moorlands, and alpine desert before approaching the summit via Kibo Hut and descending through the scenic Marangu Route. The Rongai Route is perfect for those seeking solitude, wildlife sightings, and a gentler ascent to Africa’s highest peak.
