RONGAI ROUTE (6NIGHTS)
It is also known as Nalemoru route, the only northern approach route to Mt. Kilimanjaro. A very remote route but wild, offers a true wilderness experiences on the early stages of the climb, good for acclimatization because of the number of days. This route is moderately difficult and it’s highly recommended especially for those with less backpacking experience, this route is less frequented because of it being less scenic and very tough final summit night from the north. We provide you with all of the basic needs during trek both meals, drinks, accommodation, interpretations, explanations, advice and any kind of service you should be deserving as per the itinerary. Feel free to hike with DASSIE SAFARIS and conquer to AFRICA’S HIGHEST POINT UHURU PEAK at 5895m
