Finale: Moshi.

Route details: The Rongai Route starts in a lonely point on Kilimanjaro’s northern flank, close to the Kenyan border. We trek through a genuine wilderness area in the direction of the craggy Mawenzi Peak, traverse a desolate desert saddle, and then climb the eastern crater wall of Kibos. People with little to no prior backpacking experience choose the Rongai route since it is a more gradual ascent, but it is as fun for even the most picturesque path where you may view wild animals.

Day 0: Touchdown in Tanzania

You will be met by your guide, who will give you a briefing on your forthcoming trip and check your equipment to make sure you have all the appropriate mountain gear, when you are picked up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and taken to your hotel in Moshi town. On this day, the missing equipment can be rented. No meals are included.

Day 1: Rongai Simba Camp (2,600 m)

The porters and guides will be ready to return to the car drive to Rongai gate after completing the necessary registration formalities at the Marangu National Park gate. The climb begins at Nale Moru (1,950 m) on a small path that winds through maize and potato fields before entering pine forest. Climbs steadily but gently through beautiful forest that is home to a variety of wildlife, including the beautiful Kilimanjaro Colobus monkey. These monkeys are black with a white hair cape and a flowing white tail. The forest begins to thin out, and the first camp, Rongai One Camp (2,600 m), is on the outskirts of the moorland zone, with expansive views of the Kenyan plains.

Day 2: Third Caves (3.900m)

We now leave the main trail and trek out across the valley, walking on the stone in a smaller path towards Third Caves. Where you leave Mountain Mawenzi behind, cross the valley and enjoy spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. You will have a hot lunch on the second caves and then proceed to the third caves (3,900). You will have time to walk around for acclimatisation before dinner.

Day 3: Kibo campsite, (4,700m); option for school hut

We cross the lunar desert between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach the Kibo campsite (4,700m) at the base of the Kibo crater wall. Other hikers from the Marangu route will be staying in the hut with you. The rest of the day is spent resting and preparing for the final ascent before an early night.

Day 4: The summit to Horombo Hut (3,720 m)

We’ll begin the final, and by far the steepest and most difficult, part of the climb by torchlight around 1 a.m. We plod slowly in the dark on a switchback trail through loose volcanic scree to reach the crater rim at Gillmans Point (5,685 m), where we will rest for a short time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawenzi. Those who are still feeling strong can continue to the next two peaks, Stella Point and Uhuru Peak (5,896 m), passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that surround most of the summit area. The descent to Kibo (4,700 m) is surprisingly quick, and after refuelling with hot soup and juice, we continue the descent to our final campsite at Horombo (3,720 m).

Day 5: National Park gate at Marangu (1,830 m)

After breakfast, you will sing the Kilimanjaro song, the Jambo song, and then descend through moorland to Mandara Hut (2,700m), the first stop on the Marangu route. We continue downhill on a good path through lovely lush forest to the National Park gate at Marangu (1,830 m).
