Nalemoru Gate (1990m)

7-day climbing Rongai Route is the only route to Kilimanjaro that originates from the northern slopes of the mountain. This area of the Mountain rarely sees an influx of hikers; it is, however, no less fascinating than the popular southern and western slopes. We recommend it especially to those who appreciate hiking experiences that are solitary and secluded. The trip to the starting point-Nalemuru Gate-usually takes about 3-4 hours from the hotel. Rongai is also the only route to Mawenzi, a volcanic cone of Kilimanjaro and the third-tallest peak of Africa. On the return leg, you pass via Marangu, so that you can experience both flanks of the mountain for the 7-day climbing Rongai Route While the itinerary options for the 7-day climbing Rongai Route are six or seven days, the longer option is recommended for acclimatization and transition motivation. Arrive in Tanzania. Meals: Breakfast and dinner included. Pick up from Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to your hotel, after which a professional guide will come for a briefing about the trek and an equipment check for any mountain gear you may lack. Finally, you will spend the night at your hotel.
