Kilimanjaro: 6-Day Rongai Route Trek with Accommodation

Embark on a 6-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro via the Rongai Route. Stay in budget mountain huts and campsites and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding area from the summit.
Day 1: Moshi/Arusha to Kilimanjaro Gate – Rongai Simba Camp (2,600m)

After breakfast,, we drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate Rongai route. Your trek can begin. Hike through a pine forest and climb gently through a forest. The trail is not steep, but is rather a gentle hike through beautiful country. The first night's camp is at 1st First Cave Simba camp, at about 2,600 meters above sea level.

Day 2: Simba Camp– Kikelewa Cave (3,600m)

Continue up towards Kibo, passing Second Cave (3,450m) en-route, and reaching Kikelewa Cave at about 3600 meters. The views start to open up and you begin to feel you are on a really big mountain. Water is in the obvious stream below the cave, although you might have to wander downhill a way to find some. Overnight at 3rd Cave camp (Kikelewa Caves) with all meals included.

Day 3: Kikelewa Cave – Mawenzi Tarn Camp (4,330m)

A short but steep climb up grassy slopes offers superb views of this wilderness area. The vegetation zone ends shortly before you reach your next camp at Mawenzi Tarn, spectacularly situated beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. Spend the afternoon acclimatizing and exploring the area. All meals are served at camp.

Day 4: Mawenzi Tarn Camp – Kibo Hut (4,700m)

Continue ascending on the east side of Kibo crossing the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo taking 4 to 5 hours to reach Kibo Hut. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for the final ascent, which begins around midnight. Overnight at Kibo Camp with all meals served.

Day 5: Kibo Hut – Uhuru Peak (5,895m) – Horombo Hut (3,270m)

Today is “The Big Day” – the summit stage. The mountain guide will wake you up at 23:00 hrs and you will begin the long and strenuous trek to the summit.

Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5,220 m, the climb slowly but surely goes upwards. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5,681 m) – the crater rim of Kilimanjaro – where the sun will slowly start to warm up the land. You will have soon forgotten the cold of the night and after a further hike of 1 – 2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5,895 m.

At peak, you can celebrate your accomplishment of reaching the “Roof of Africa”. The route back down follows the same path; the lava ash will now have thawed and allows for a fast descent. On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you and you can regain your strength. Following a 1 – 2 hour break, you will once again be on your way hiking to the Horombo Hut (3,700 m) for your stay.

Day 6: Horombo Hut (3,700m) – Marangu Gate (1,860m) – Back Moshi/Arusha

The last stage passes through the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2,700 m) where a warm lunch is waiting for you. Soon, you will once again pass the tropical rainforest and after a total time of 6 hours trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1,860 m). After saying goodbye to your mountain guides and porters, a transfer follows to take you back town.
