Rongai Route

The Rongai Route is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the north, which is also close to the Kenya border. It is also the only route that has fewer crowds. The Rongai route has more slope than other Kilimanjaro Routes.

Rongai is one of the preferred routes for those looking for an alternative to other popular routes before Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, for those who would like a more remote hike, and for those who are climbing during the rainy season as the northern circuit has lesser rainfall.

The Kilimanjaro Rongai Route is considered one of the less scenic routes up the mountain. Still, because the northern side of Kilimanjaro receives less rainfall, you’ll get to enjoy clear and unclouded views of the mountaintop. Mount Kilimanjaro Rongai Route takes 6-7 days to climb.

Rongai Route 7 Days has a longer itinerary and also has more time for acclimatization. It also allows you to sleep more in the lower elevations and also spend more time in the mountains. The success rate compared to the Rongai route 6 days is more than the Rongai route 7 days. The success rate is more than 90% and can go up to 97% if you follow the right procedure of climbing.

Finally, the Rongai Route may lack the scenic diversity of other routes, its quieter atmosphere and higher success rates make it a popular choice for climbers.
