Rongai opens Kilimanjaro from the quiet northern side. In the first days Kibo grows slowly above dry plains, then the road turns towards the sharp towers of Mawenzi and leads out to a solitary high-altitude lake. The most memorable stage crosses the wide saddle between the two volcanoes, where nothing is left but rock, sky and wind.<\/p>\n
The route is valued for its small number of groups, its gradual gain in altitude and its relatively dry lower section. The ascent is from the north and the descent is by the green Marangu route, so in one expedition participants see two different sides of the massif.<\/p>\n
Rongai suits anyone who wants to walk Kilimanjaro from the north and see the quieter part of the massif. The preliminary trip includes a gradual passage through Simba, Second Cave, Kikelewa and Mawenzi Tarn, a night ascent to Uhuru Peak at 5895 m and a descent by the Marangu route.<\/p>\n
The lower northern section is usually drier than the southern approaches, which makes Rongai particularly interesting in the rainy periods. This is not a guarantee of dry weather: rain, mist, snow and strong wind are possible on any side of Kilimanjaro.<\/p>\n
With a group of four participants or more a Mountain Guide team leader is planned to accompany the trip. A private format is available for any group size against an custom quote.<\/p>\n
