Tour Overview
The Rongai Route is one of the less crowded and more remote trekking routes up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It typically takes six days to complete, offering a unique and less-traveled experience compared to some of the more popular routes like the Marangu or Machame routes. Here's an overview of the Rongai Route, including the best time to trek, summit success rate, and a sample itinerary with time, events, and altitudes: Overview: Route Name: Rongai Route Duration: 6 days Difficulty: Moderate Summit Success Rate: Approximately 85-90% Best Time to Trek: The best time to trek the Rongai Route is during the dry season, which typically falls between late June and October. This period offers the most stable weather conditions with clear skies and less rainfall, providing the best chance for a successful summit.
