Cruize Wild Safaris
A northern Kilimanjaro approach beginning near the Kenya-facing side and descending via Marangu.
Rongai approaches Kilimanjaro from the north. It provides a different landscape progression from southern routes and ultimately connects toward the Kibo summit area before descending on the Marangu side.
Longer Rongai itineraries can include time around Mawenzi to improve acclimatisation before moving toward Kibo.
It suits trekkers interested in a quieter-feeling northern approach and camping-based mountain travel.
