This is 7 days itinerary of the Rongai route with an additional day for acclimatization. Gradually descending towards Uhuru Peak, the Rongai route starts from the north side of Kilimanjaro. We recommend this route to climbers who have no previous experience climbing at higher altitudes, and to those who are just starting to climb with little or no mountaineering experience. In terms of difficulty, the Rongai route can be rated as moderate because it is not as demanding as other difficult routes because it has a gentle slope and an equally gentle approach to the summit. The Rongai Route may offer an almost level slope but its main disadvantage is that climbers are more likely to suffer from altitude sickness AMS because it does not follow the climb high, sleep low rule strictly that is needed for acclimatization. In order to combat the high altitude sickness problem, we recommend that you add an extra day for acclimatization when plying this route.
Depart Moshi and transfer to Rongai Gate at Nalemoru on the northeastern side of Kilimanjaro. Begin the trek from Rongai Gate and ascend to Simba Camp where you will settle in for the night. This first day provides the initial approach from the north side of the mountain and begins the acclimatization process as you gain elevation.
Trek from Simba Camp toward Second Cave, continuing the ascent on the Rongai route. This day continues gradual altitude gain and offers terrain changes as you move deeper onto the mountain, supporting acclimatization.
Continue trekking from Second Cave to Kikelewa Camp, gaining further altitude while adapting to mountain conditions. The day is focused on steady trekking and resting at the designated camp to aid acclimatization.
Proceed from Kikelewa Camp toward Mawenzi Turn Hut. The route traverses higher alpine terrain as you make your way to Mawenzi Turn Hut where you will camp and continue to acclimatize in preparation for higher elevations.
Ascend from Mawenzi Turn Hut to Kibo Hut, moving into the high alpine zone. This stage positions you near the summit approach and is a key acclimatization and preparation day before the summit push.
Begin from Kibo Camp for the summit attempt reaching Uhuru Peak, Mount Kilimanjaros summit at 5895 meters, then descend to Horombo Hut. This is the most demanding day with the summit experience and subsequent descent to lower altitude for recovery.
Descend from Horombo Hut down to Marangu Gate, complete park exit formalities and transfer back to Moshi. This final day concludes the trek with descent, exit from Kilimanjaro National Park and return to Moshi.
