Rongai Route Climb

11 day trip / 7 days Kilimanjaro trekking

The quiet way up...

To climb Kilimanjaro on our 11 day Rongai itinerary (trekking for 7 days), you can join one of many Open Group Challenge climbs throughout the year, departing from the UK. Our group climbs bring like-minded people together to share in the Kilimanjaro experience. You can sign up on your own, as a couple or with a small group of friends or family.

Our 7 day Rongai Route trek approaches from the north and is one of the least frequented trails on Kilimanjaro, which is perfect for those looking for a more ‘wilderness’ experience. It isn't an ‘easier’ route, but it takes a slower, more relaxed pace over the 7 days offering good acclimatisation. Through forest, the trail climbs steadily up to Mawenzi tarn and in the shadow of Mawenzi Peak, before crossing the barren landscape of 'The Saddle'. From base camp at Kibo it is a tough but spectacularly rewarding ascent up to the summit via Gillman’s and Stella point and where we will feel on top of the world!
