The Rongai route on Kilimanjaro offers a unique ascent from the northeastern side, along the Border between Tanzania and Kenya, providing wilderness experience on the trail. Due to its topography, climbers may face a higher risk of altitude sickness, so an extra acclimatization day is recommended. The route follows a scree path to Gilman’s Point and descends via the Marangu route. The main difference between the 6-day and 7-day itineraries is the additional acclimatization day at Mwenzi Tarn.
