The Rongai Route is the only route that climbs Mount Kilimanjaro from the north side. It offers views of a quiet and less visited wilderness and is less crowded than other routes. The trail has a gradual ascent, making it good for less experienced climbers. The trek starts at Nalemoru Gate and goes to Simba Camp, Second Cave, Kikelewa Camp, and Mawenzi Tarn. Climbers then cross the Saddle to Kibo Hut before the summit attempt. On summit day, hikers climb via Gilman’s Point and Stella Point to Uhuru Peak (5,895m). After the summit, climbers descend to Horombo Hut and finish the trek at Marangu Gate. The tour includes guides, porters, camping equipment, meals, and park fees.
