About this experience

The Rongai route is one of the most favourable routes to attempt Kilimanjaro during the rainy season, as it sees substantially less rain than the southern routes. The route ‘also known as the Nalemuru route’ is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the North, close to the Kenyan border.

Rongai route offers a true wilderness experience in the early stages of the climb, it is the preferred route for those looking for an alternative to the crowded Marangu route, for those who want a more remote hike and for those who climb during the rainy season (the north side receives less precipitation).

Our professional climbing crews will take care of your safety and comfort. Our expert local team will surprise you with their cooking skills and the porter will carry all mountain equipment. The guides will be leading the route and sharing their knowledge about the mountain, culture and history of Tanzania.

Our cost includes Pre and post-climb accommodation and airport transfer.
