The Rongai route is the only trail that approaches Mt. Kilimanjaro starting at the northern side, just at the Kenyan border. Due to its remote location, Rongai has low traffic. Trekkers are offered with a relatively unspoiled wilderness experience. Large wildlife like antelopes, elephants, baboons, and buffaloes can be seen during the trek on this route. Rongai is a moderately difficult route and preferred by those climbing during the rainy season. The route will take you past the second highest point in Tanzania – Mawenzi while offering bird’s eye views of the mountain’s rainforest. Although the scenery is not as diverse as the western routes, The Rongai route makes up for this by going through the coniferous forest amid true wilderness areas. The gentle rise and its steady acclimatization bring trekkers securely to the highest point in Africa – the Uhuru Peak, Kilimanjaro. Descent from the summit, however, is made via the Marangu route.
