Although considered to be less scenic than the Lemosho and Machame routes, there are still oases of wilderness, especially on the later days of the hike and the camp beneath Mawenzi Peak is noted as one of the most scenic on the mountain. An additional benefit of the Rongai route is than the northern side of Kilimanjaro tends to be drier, so weather conditions are more favourable for climbing and camping. This is a big plus to consider if you’re trekking during Tanzania’s wetter seasons.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”891″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” kswr_row_top_decor_enabled=”false” kswr_row_bottom_decor_enabled=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1693219352055{background-color: #ffcf99 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Facts:-” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:center|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20italic%3A700%3Aitalic”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mvc_infobox info_opt=”show_icon” title_color=”#000000″ font_icon=”fas fa-globe” info_title=”Ascent Distance: 37.65 Km” icon_color=”#dd8502″][/mvc_infobox][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mvc_infobox info_opt=”show_icon” title_color=”#000000″ font_icon=”fas fa-ruler-combined” info_title=”Descent Distance:36.75 Km (Marangu Route)” icon_color=”#dd8502″][/mvc_infobox][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mvc_infobox info_opt=”show_icon” title_color=”#000000″ font_icon=”fas fa-map” info_title=”Total Distance: 74.4 Km” icon_color=”#dd8502″][/mvc_infobox][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mvc_infobox info_opt=”show_icon” title_color=”#000000″ font_icon=”fas fa-users” info_title=”No Of People Climbing: 589 Per Year” icon_color=”#dd8502″][/mvc_infobox][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mvc_infobox info_opt=”show_icon” title_color=”#000000″ font_icon=”fas fa-mountain” info_title=”Trek Difficulty: Easy” icon_color=”#dd8502″][/mvc_infobox][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mvc_infobox info_opt=”show_icon” title_color=”#000000″ font_icon=”fas fa-tree” info_title=”Highlight: Less Crowd, Monsoon Route” icon_color=”#dd8502″][/mvc_infobox][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”763″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”765″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”766″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”767″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”768″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”769″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Our Services” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:40|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20italic%3A900%3Aitalic”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vcex_teaser style=”four” text_align=”center” heading=”Why Choose Rongai” img_align=”center” img_size=”thumbnail” url_local_scroll=”true” image=”775″ border_color=”#dd9933″ border_radius=”3″ url=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwildempirediscovery.com%2Flemosho-route%2F” heading_weight=”800″ heading_size=”30″]The Rongai route is the only Kilimanjaro route that approaches the mountain ..

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The northern Rongai route offers a relatively “easy” climb, a high success rate, a gradual and steady ascent, plus wildlife watching in the wilderness. The main draw of this Kilimanjaro route is the chance to get away from the crowds, so you can enjoy the incredible scenery. The six-day route via Mawenzi Tarn staying in well-staggered camps also means you’ll have more time to acclimatize and less risk of altitude sickness.
