7 Days Umbwe Route

Tour Overview

This is one of Kilimanjaro’s easiest routes, and it has become an increasingly popular route in recent years. This route is located on the northern side of Mount Kilimanjaro with a variety of spectacular landscapes together with different plants and animal species. The typical duration for this trip is 6 days. However, you can also add an acclimatization day and make it 7 day climb.

Rongai Route is more scenic than Marangu Route and easier than other camping route in climbing Kilimanjaro and the success rate on the Rongai Route is very high. Unlike Marangu Route where you sleep in huts, on Rongai Route you sleep in tents. Porters will have your tent pitched and waiting for you at the end of each days trek. This route starts on the north side of the mountain just south of  Kenyan border and is one of the least traveled routes. This route merges with Marangu Route for the summit climb. The descend follows Marangu Route on the mountain’s southeast side, so you will able see Kilimanjaro from many view points. There are two versions of this trek – a direct 6-day itinerary, and a 7-day itinerary that takes a longer route. The 6-day itinerary is described down below and the longer variation is described in the extra day’s section.
