PROPERTIES : The Rongai Route [Tanzania]

 

 

 

 

The Rongai Route - Tanzania - Mount Kilimanjaro

Rongai Route: Early in 2007 we pioneered our own 7 day Rongai Route. The route affords as much as 900m worth of climb high, sleep low on day 4 - the greatest differential of any route - and also switches to the easier assault option of Barafu, by traversing the Mawenzi-Kibo saddle along the South Summit Circuit. On 27th December 2007 our 20th expedition on this new route successfully summitted Kilimanjaro and we are now delighted to be able to recommend the 7 Rongai Route as a thoroughly tried and tested route variation that we believe offers the greatest likelihood of summit success of all six routes and their variants on the mountain. Our unique 7 day Rongai Route affords some rare views of Kibo from the east and is the quietest of all the routes because unlike the conventional Rongai Route we don’t have to share the Marangu Route from day 4 as we use the gentlest approach to high camp possible, along a trail that no other companies make use of. Undoubtedly the best of both worlds, the route is an excellent choice for all except those climbers booking alone or in small groups and who wish to join larger groups. Descent is via the Marangu Route. The cost of a fully ported, catered and guided seven day/six night climb is appx US$2,321 per person.
