Trek Overview
Kilimanjaro
Climb Rongai
Route
is rapidly gaining popularity, and is considered to
be one of the easiest routes up Mount Kilimanjaro. It
is the only route starting from the north side of the
mountain at Rongai, a small village close to the Kenyan
border.
The
climbing conditions are drier on the northern side of
the mountain, and there are fantastic sweeping views
over the broad flat Masai lands. Overnights are spent
camping in tents. The summit is reached via the east
side of Kibo and the descent is via the Marangu Trek.
