9 Days Mt. Kilimanjaro Climbing: Rongai Route
per person
RONGAI ROUTE.
The Rongai route is the only route that starts from the Kenyan side of Mt.Kilimanjaro. Because of its remote location, it has fewer climbers compared to other routes hence offers trekkers a relatively unspoilt wilderness experience and it is possible to see wildlife like, baboon, white and black Columbus monkey, blue monkey and different species of birds. Trekkers are also likely to get a clear, scenic unclouded view of the mountain from this route.
