This guided tour is designed for those looking to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro using the Rongai Route in 2024. The 7-day duration provides an opportunity for acclimatization and offers a unique perspective of the mountain as climbers approach from the north. This route is known for its tranquility and scenic appeal.
Rongai Route is a good option for climbers looking for a more quiet The ascent of Kilimanjaro. Climbers will be able to cross Mount Kilimanjaro during their adventure thanks to this route's approach from the mountain's infrequently traveled north side and descent through Marangu on the west. Climbers can experience a distant walk through pristine terrain on Rongai, where there is a greater chance of seeing wildlife. The Rongai Route has some disadvantages, including a less than perfect acclimatization profile, despite the fact that the trail is not particularly steep.
Although some ads claim that this path starts on the "Kenyan side" of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania's borders encompass the entire mountain. Compared to other routes, the Rongai route begins closer to the Kenyan border, although the entire walk is entirely in Tanzania.
The Price & Accommodation:cost/price of the Kilimanjaro 7 days Rongai Route can range from $1,870 to $4,000 USD per person per 2 days hotel inclusion. However this price usually includes services such as transportation to and from the airport, park fees, camping equipment, food, and the services of experienced guides and porters.
Accommodation,our given price is including 2 days in Hotel-Midrange(1day before and 1day after climbing),since most of guests doesn't be able to know good hotel and also booking from company is less-cost than client booked direct to the hotel,even though we did not limit someone to booked for hotel.
How Hard is Rongai Route ? One of the simplest ascents of Kilimanjaro, the Rongai trail softly ascends while avoiding strenuous excursions, and it is occasionally suggested for beginners. The Rongai Route's acclimatization profile suffers as a result, as it is impossible to follow the climber's maxim of "climb high, sleep low" without severe ascents, which can make climbers uncomfortable at higher altitudes. To maximize the likelihood of success, African Trek & Travel addresses this problem by providing an additional acclimatization day.
Best Time Of The Year TO Climbing Kilimanjaro
We typically suggest that the warmest and driest months of the year, which are December to mid-March and mid-June towards the end of October, are the best times to climb Kilimanjaro. Unfortunately, despite the fact that these are the months with the best weather for trekking, they also happen to be busiest. Regardless of the season, the likelihood of a significant weather change always exists.
