Rongai is the main course beginning the northern incline of Kilimanjaro. However this piece of the Mountain is seldom visited by explorers, it isn’t less intriguing than the well known southern and western slants. We prescribe Rongai to every one of the people who like hermitic climbing encounters. Getting to the trailhead – Nalemuru Gate – for the most part requires 3-4 hours from Aishi Machame Hotel.
Rongai is additionally the main course that passes by Mawenzi, one of the three volcanic cones of Kilimanjaro and the third most elevated top in Africa. The way back lies through Marangu, and consequently you will actually want to see the two sides of the mountain.
However six and seven-day programs are accessible, a more extended choice is suggested for better acclimatization change.

Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where you will meet Kiliholidays representative, and transfer to Weru Weru River lodge (https://www.weruweruriverlodge.com/ ). The hotel will provide all the essentials for a comfortable stay: cozy rooms, hot water, polite staff, a swimming pool, and Internet access. In the evening there will be a briefing with our managers, who will also make sure you are ready to begin the climb.๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ

You will meet your mountain guides and crew in the morning before setting out for Kilimanjaro National
Park’s northern entrance: Nalemuru Gate (2,020 m). Here, the head guide will acquire the necessary
permits and finalize search and rescue registration. This dayโs trek through coniferous forest of Kilimanjaroโs northern slope to Simba Camp is moderate, taking you up to 2,625 m. Remember not to hurry and maintain a comfortable pace. By the time you reach the camp, our professional mountain crew will have pitched your tents and started dinner preparations. It is advisable to adhere to the following rules from the very beginning of your climb: Stay away from alcohol and caffeine.
Make sure you drink a minimum of 4 liters of water every day, taking it frequently and in small doses.
The use of Diamox tablets is a good idea as it staves off altitude sickness symptoms. These are taken in
the morning before the dayโs climb. Consult your family doctor to make sure that you can safely take it.
Do not be unduly alarmed if you experience discomfort during the night- high altitude has this effect on
the human body. Nausea and headaches are a common occurrence in the mountains. However, make
sure you alert your guide to any symptoms of altitude sickness. ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ก: ๐๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ

Early in the morning after breakfast, the group will depart from Simba Camp to start trekking towards
your second high altitude camp: Second Cave Camp (3,480 m). This route is rather easy and will only
take around 3 hours, so when you reach the camp you will still have ample time to rest and explore the
surrounding area. After lunch you will have a couple hours to rest, followed by an acclimatization hike in
the direction of Kikilewa Camp (3,630 m) on a stretch of the Rongai Route at a short distance with a 100-
meter gain in altitude, after which you will hike back down to Second Cave Camp.
๐๐จ๐ญ๐: the acclimatization hike is an easy trek with a slight gain in altitude done in order to speed up the
acclimatization process. You should take the acclimatization hikes very seriously. They help increase
your chances of successfully summiting Kilimanjaro and save you from the consequences of altitude
sickness. ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ; ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ก; ๐๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ

This day will be spent trekking towards Kibo Summit Camp (4,700 m). The landscape will change
significantly to give
way to a rocky semidesert. The actual trekking is not very difficult; just remember to stick with an
appropriate pace to
keep up your strength for the trekking to Kilimanjaro's summit. When you reach the camp, we
recommend you sleep
well, avoid strenuous activity, and drink as much as you can, because that very night you will be
ascending Uhuru Peak (5,895 m).

The team will depart School Hut Camp with its elevation of 4,715 m at night. The trek up to Uhuru
Peakโs 5,895 m puts more of a strain on your cardiovascular system than your muscles as the high
altitude takes its toll on your body despite the moderate gradient of the climb. One guide will be
assigned to every two climbers, constantly evaluating their fitness over the duration of this part of the
climb. A walk on the nearest glacier can be undertaken upon reaching the summit. The descent to 3,720
m at Horombo Camp will include a 2-hour rest stop at Kibo Camp. It is highly advisable to keep in mind
that 9 out of 10 climbing accident happen on the way down, so watch your step! ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ; ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ก;
