The Rongai Route is considered by some to be the easiest route on Mt Kilimanjaro. It is a gentle route and those choosing this route do not have to scale the Barranco Wall that some trekkers fear. This route starts on the north side of the mountain, very close to the Kenyan Border. It is fairly scenic and is not busy. The descent follows the same path as the Marangu Route. Note that although the Marangu Route uses huts for overnight accommodations, those descending using the Rongai Route use tents for overnights. The north side of Kilimanjaro receives less precipitation, so during the wetter months of March, April, May, November, December this route is a good consideration. Rongai Route can be chosen as either a 6 days or 7 days itinerary.
