Kilimanjaro's Solitary Route - The Rongai Route
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
It is the only route that climbs Kilimanjaro from the north, and the quietest on the mountain. In this episode of The Vertical Sky Journal, we climb the Rongai route, the gentle, remote and wonderfully peaceful path to the summit.
In this episode:
- Why Rongai is the only ascent from the northern, Kenyan side
- The farmland, the pine forest and the open moorland beneath the spires of Mawenzi
- The acclimatisation day at Mawenzi Tarn and the crossing of the great lunar saddle
- The summit approach via Gilman's Point, and the descent down the Marangu route
- Why its drier northern approach makes it the route we trust most in the wetter months
Quiet, gentle and gloriously remote, Rongai is the peaceful way to the Roof of Africa. Here is what it is really like, and who it suits best.
The Vertical Sky Journal is brought to you by Vertical Sky, an ethical Kilimanjaro climbing company that climbs the mountain the right way, looking after the guides and porters who make every summit possible.
