6 Days – Rongai Route

This 6-day trek up Kilimanjaro begins on its north-eastern side, known for its relatively dry conditions and brief forest zone. The Rongai route navigates around Mwenzi, ascending via Gilman’s Point to reach Uhuru Peak. Descent follows the Marangu trail. While this trek is considered easier than the 6-day Machame route, the final push from Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak is quite demanding. For better acclimatization and a more enjoyable experience, we typically recommend the 7-day version.
