Mount Kilimanjaro Routes

Rongai  Route

This route is seldom used due to the fact that the trailhead is very remote and difficult to reach. It begins north of Kilimanjaro in a heavily wooded area near the Kenyan border. This route normally takes 6 days and is relatively easy compared to some of the others, but of course none of the Kilimanjaro routes is truly easy.

Day2: Have b/fast then continue to cave2 for about 3hrs followed by dinner and overnight.
