RONGAI ROUTE 6 DAYS 5 NIGHTS ON THE MOUNTAIN
Overview
Rongai Route 6 Days 5 nights on Trek.
This remote and less frequently used route is the second easiest route to Kilimanjaro. The approach to the mountain is from the less-forested north side and the descent is by the Marangu Route.
There are several variations; the one described below is a longer route taking in Mawenzi Tarn. The second day on this variant is quite long and could be broken up into two days walk allowing more time for acclimatization.
