The Rongai Route is one of the simpler routes that gradually approaches the summit and starts in the north of Kilimanjaro near the Kenyan border. Before that, the way to register is at Marangu Gate. This route is used only for ascent, the Marangu route for descent which offers an additional variety. Even if the landscape on this route is not as impressive as on others, you hike through pristine rainforests and you have the possibility to enjoy African wildlife here. There are only a few hikers on this route, only from the Kibo Camp does the route mix with the Marangu Route. The paths are easy to walk and very dry, because the north side of Kilimanjaro generally has less rainfall, which makes the route a good alternative even in the rainy season.
Due to the fact that the Rongai route is a moderate route, it is especially recommended for those with less experience in hiking. Nevertheless, this route should not be underestimated and requires sure-footedness and fitness. The tour can be done in 6 or 7 days, whereby the 7 day route offers a maximum time for acclimatization.
