Kilimanjaro National Park
A Mount Kilimanjaro trek is a walk, not a climb — no ropes, no technical skill, nothing you need to...
ViewClimb the highest peak in Africa from the quiet north. The seven-day Rongai route approaches Kilimanjaro from the Kenyan side, offering a gentler gradient, genuine wilderness and excellent acclimatisation before your summit night to Uhuru Peak at 5,895m.
Arrive and transfer to your hotel in Moshi for a gear check and climb briefing with your guide.
Drive to the Rongai trailhead near the Kenyan border and trek through farmland and pine forest to Simba Camp at 2,625m.
Trek across open moorland with growing views of Kibo to reach Kikelewa Camp at 3,600m.
A short but steep climb to Mawenzi Tarn at 4,330m, set beneath the jagged Mawenzi peak, with an afternoon acclimatisation walk.
Cross the lunar saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo to Kibo Hut at 4,700m, then rest and prepare for the summit.
A midnight start takes you to Gilman Point on the crater rim and on to Uhuru Peak at 5,895m for sunrise, before a long descent to Horombo Hut at 3,720m.
A final descent through forest to Marangu Gate, where you receive your summit certificate, then transfer back to Moshi.
