6 Days Kilimanjaro Climbing Via Rongai Route
Overview
Rongai is only available as a private climb which means that you can choose your departure date and fellow hikers in your group.
Probably the least-used route to the summit of Kilimanjaro is the Rongai route. It starts on the northern side of Mt Kilimanjaro where it can be relatively dry even in the rainy months. Rongai traverses lesser-known areas of Kili and is perfect for hikers than want a more remote route. This camping route is only available as a private climb. This means that the client will select the suitable day of departure and can make up his own group of hikers.
