Rongai route
Duration: 6 days
The Rongai route ascents Kilimanjaro from the northeastern side of
the mountain, along the border between Tanzania and Kenya. This
route retains a sense of unspoilt wilderness and offers a different
perspective on Kilimanjaro by approaching it from the north.
Day 1: Rongai Gate (1950m) - 1st Caves camp (2600m)
Hiking time: 5h
Distance: Approximately 8 kms
Habitat: Forest (Montane)
Register at the Marangu park gate with a transfer (approximately 2 ½
hours) to the Rongai trailhead. Meet your guide and porters before
you begin your hike from the Nale Moru village. The small winding
path crosses maize fields before entering pine forest, and then
climbs gently through a forest. The trail is not at all steep, but
is rather a gentle hike through beautiful country. The first night's
camp is at First Cave, at about 2,600 metres. There is a toilet and
a wooden table with benches, but no hut. Water can be found just
down the trail below First Cave.
Day 2: 1st Cave (2600m) - Kikelewa Cave (3600m)
Hiking time: 6 - 7h
Habitat: Moorlands
The trail continues up towards Kibo, passing Second Cave (3450m)
en-route, and reaching Kikelwa Cave at about 3600 metres. The views
start to open up and you begin to feel you're on a really big
mountain! Water is in the obvious stream below the cave, although
you might have to wander downhill a way to find some. Overnight at
3rd Cave camp (Kikelewa Caves).
Day 3: Kikelewa Cave (3600) - Mawenzi Tarn camp (4330m)
Hiking time: 3 - 4h
Habitat: Moorlands
A short but steep climb up grassy slopes offers superb views of this
wilderness area. The vegetation zone ends shortly before you reach
your next camp at Mawenzi Tarn spectacularly situated beneath the
towering spires of Mawenzi. Spend the afternoon acclimatizing and
exploring the area.
Day 4: Mawenzi Tarn camp (4330m) - Kibo hut (4700m)
Hiking time: 4 - 5h
Habitat: Alpine desert
Day four on the Rongai route up to the summit of Mt
Kilimanjaro.Continue ascending on the east side of Kibo crossing the
saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo taking 4 to 5 hours to reach Kibo
Hut. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for
the final ascent, which begins around midnight. Overnight at Kibo
Camp.
Day 5: (Summit Attempt) Kibo hut (4700m) - Uhuru Peak (5895m) -
Horombo hut (3720m)
Hiking time: 8h to Uhuru, 6h to Horombo
Habitat: Stone scree / ice-cap summit
Distance: Approximately 6 kms ascent, 21 kms descent
Bern Goosen after having reached the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro in his
wheelchair.You will rise around 23h30, and after some tea and
biscuits you shuffle off into the night. This is where the going
really gets tough. The first section of the trail consists of a
rocky path to the Hans Meyer Cave (5150m), also a good resting spot.
The path then zigzags up to Gillman's point (5 681m), which is
located on the crater rim. This section is very steep with a lot of
stone scree, requiring a great physical and mental effort. Probably
the most demanding section of the entire route. Do the Kili shuffle
and move slowly. From Gillman's Point you will normally encounter
snow all the way up to Uhuru peak (5895m), the highest point in
Africa. Total exhilaration and satisfaction - you made it. Weather
conditions on the summit will determine how long you can spend,
taking photographs, before the 3-hour descent back to Kibo hut.
After a short rest you gather all your gear for the ascent and head
down to Horombo hut (3 hours) where you will overnight. The return
to Horombo hut will seem surprisingly fast compared to the ascent.
The total time spent walking on this day is around 14 hours, so be
prepared for a very tough day. Later in the evening you enjoy your
last dinner (with soft drinks and beer for sale at the camp office)
on the mountain and well-earned sleep, filled with memories and
stirring emotions.
Day 6: Horombo hut (at 3720m) to Marangu Gate (at 1980m)
Hiking time: 6h
Distance: Approximately 27 kms
Climbers on day six of the Rongai route, having successfully
summited Mt Kilimanjaro, on their way back.After breakfast you
continue your descent (6 hours), passing the Mandara hut, down to
the Marangu gate. It is strongly recommended not to pay your porters
any tips until you and all your gear have reached the gate safely.
At Marangu gate you sign your name and details in a register. This
is also where successful climbers receive their summit certificates.
Those climbers who reached Gillman's Point (5685m) are issued with
green certificates and those who reached Uhuru Peak (5895m) receive
gold certificates. You now drive back to Moshi for a long overdue
hot shower, dinner and celebrations!! Overnight in a budget hotel.
