Rongai Route

Rongai Route offers a different experience than the routes on the southern slope.  Starting to the north, near the Kenyan border, it is much drier, so is the best option during the rainy season.  Elephants frequent the tall grass along the route on the first days.  Multiple route variation options exist which allow more effective acclimatization than the original direct route.  This route starts from the north and covers the east side of Kili including great proximity to Mawenzi.  It is gentle trekking and also sees relatively less traffic than the more popular routes on Kili.

Rongai variations can be done in 6, 7 or 8 days.
