6 DAYS ON CLIMB VIA RONGAI ROUTE

Information BackgroundThe Rongai route begins on the northern side of the mountain and is the least travelled route.

maize and potatoes before entering pine forest. The track then starts to climbconsistently, but gently through attrac-tive forest that shelters a variety of wild-life, including the beautiful KilimanjaroColobus monkey. These monkeys are black with a long ‘cape’ of white hair and a flowing white tail. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp is at the edge of the moorland zone (2,600 m.) with extensive views over the Kenyan plains. Most clients like to stay at SIMBA CAMP-SITE but there is 1ST CAVE CAMSITE also. [3-4 hours walking]

trail and strike out across the moorland on a smaller path towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Our campsite is in a sheltered valley with giant scenarios near KIKELEWA or 2nd CAVES CAMPSITE where you will overnight. (3.600 m.) [6-7 hours walking]


DAY:4

DAY:5

A short but steep climb up grassy slopes is rewarded by

superb all round views and a tangible sense of wilderness. We leave vegetation behind shortly before eaching the next campat Mawenzi Tarn (4,330 m.),Zspectacularly situated in a cirquedirectly beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or explore the surrounding area as an aid to acclimatization.Overnight at MAWENZI TURN HUT CAMPSITE or 3RD CAVE CAMPSITE[3-4 hours walking]

Day 5: We cross the lunar desert of the ‘Saddle’ be-

tween Mawenzi and Kibo to reach School/KIBO CAMPSITE (4,750 m.) at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent rest-ing in preparation for the final ascent before a very early night! [4-5 hours walking]


DAY:6

DAY:7

We will start the final, and by far the steepest and most demanding, part of the climb

by torchlight around 1 a.m. We plod very slowly in the darkness on a switchback trail through loose volcanic scree to reach the crater rim at Gillman’s Point (5,685 m.) We will rest there for a short time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawen-zi. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three hour round trip to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m.), passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent to Kibo (4,700 m.) is surprisingly fast and, after some re-freshment, we continue the descent to reach our final Campsite at Horombo (HOROMBO CAMPSITE) (3,720 m).[11-15 hours walking.

A steady descent takes us down through moorland to

Mandara Hut (2,700m.), the first stopping place at the Marangu route. We then continue descending through lovely lush forest on a good path to the National Park gate at Marangu (1,830 m). [5-6 hours walking]. You will be transferred to Springlands Hotel for lunch, shower and Overnight on Bed & breakfast.

tel) to Lake Manyara National Park takes about 3-4 hours. After having a picnic lunch in Manyara, you start a late afternoon game drive, which is the best time to view animals in this park. When you approach it from the east, the Rift Valley escarpment looms on the ho-rizon forming an impressive backdrop to the lake. In the tall trees of the ground water forest, monkeys leap from branch to branch, and on the escarpment, el-ephants stand in the shade.
