Rongai Route
A northern approach to Kilimanjaro, with a different early perspective from routes beginning on the southern side.
Use the itinerary and price information on this page to review the proposed programme. Confirm the exact mountain days, overnight stops, arrival arrangements and inclusions for your dates with Kilidove before booking.
Rongai approaches from the north. The starting side does not guarantee dry weather, solitude or easier acclimatisation. Check the full ascent and descent programme below.
The goal is Uhuru Peak, at 5,895 metres, but reaching the summit is subject to health, weather and guide decisions. Your proposal should explain the planned ascent, descent and arrangements if the programme needs to change.
For a comparison with other approaches, read the Kilimanjaro route comparison guide and visit our Kilimanjaro climbing tours page. To discuss this route, request a Rongai Route proposal with your travel dates, group size and hiking experience.
