5 Days Kilimanjaro Rongai Route Trekking tour Package; Overview

The 5-day Rongai Route is a popular trekking route that leads to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. The Rongai route approaches Kilimanjaro from the north and is less crowded than some of the other routes.

The 5 Days Kilimanjaro Rongai Route Trek typically starts at the Rongai Gate and follows a gentle and gradual ascent through forests and moorlands. Along the way, trekkers will pass through several ecological zones, including heath, alpine desert, and the arctic zone near the summit.

On the fourth day of the 5 Days Kilimanjaro Rongai Route Trek, hikers will make their way to Kibo Hut, the basecamp for the final ascent to the summit. From there, they will start the climb to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro, which stands at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level.
