About 6 Days Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro | Rongai Route

Although the Rongai route can generally be thought of as an easy route, the rockier stages in the summit area are sometimes a little more demanding. Rongai is a moderately difficult route, and is highly recommended, especially for those with less backpacking experience. Although the scenery is not as varied as the western routes, Rongai makes up for this by passing through true wilderness areas for nearly the entire way. Descent is made via the Marangu route.
