Trek overview
Explore Kilimanjaro’s untamed beauty on the remote Rongai Route. This unique route starts north near the Kenya border, offering a fresh perspective as you conquer the mountain. Trekkers love the lower crowds and diverse landscapes – from lush rainforests with playful monkeys to vast plains showcasing Mawenzi. Plus, the Rongai Route is a great choice during April, May, and November when the north face receives less rain.

Itinerary
Upon landing at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO), our friendly driver will be waiting for you just outside customs control, holding a Nyange Adventure sign with your name on it. They’ll assist you with your luggage and whisk you comfortably to your Moshi hotel.
At the hotel, your expert guide will conduct a pre-climb briefing to answer any questions you have and provide important details about the trek. This includes an equipment check to ensure you have everything for a safe and comfortable climb. Don’t worry if you’re missing something! Good quality gear can be rented locally at reasonable prices. If you arrive at night, the briefing and equipment check might be scheduled for the following morning. With everything prepared, you can relax in Moshi, ready to embark on your exciting Kilimanjaro challenge!
Big day! You’ll hike northwest on rocky paths, reaching Hans Meyer Cave and Gillman’s Point. This is tough, so listen to your guides! After a short rest, conquer the final stretch along the rim for an hour. Then – boom! Uhuru Peak, the “Roof of Africa” awaits! Celebrate at the top, then descend to Kibo Huts for rest. Later, you’ll head down to Horombo Huts for a hot dinner and sleep. You’re amazing!
After a breakfast, you will conquer the last part of the trek – a scenic stroll through the forest, leading you back to Marangu Gate. Here, those of you who reached Gillman’s Point or Uhuru Peak will be awarded certificates, a tangible reminder of your incredible feat!
