Best Time To Visit Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro has its own microclimate due to its vast size and free-standing nature. Some say that climbing Kilimanjaro is like travelling from the equator to the North Pole
Read MoreThe northern Rongai route offers a relatively "easy" climb, a high success rate, a gradual and steady ascent, plus wildlife watching in the wilderness. The main draw of this Kilimanjaro route is the chance to get away from the crowds, so you can enjoy the incredible scenery. The six-day route via Mawenzi Tarn staying in well-staggered camps also means you'll have more time to acclimatize and less risk of altitude sickness.
...Although considered to be less scenic than the Lemosho and Machame routes, there are still oases of wilderness, especially on the later days of the hike and the camp beneath Mawenzi Peak is noted as one of the most scenic on the mountain. An additional benefit of the Rongai route is than the northern side of Kilimanjaro tends to be drier, so weather conditions are more favourable for climbing and camping. This is a big plus to consider if you're trekking during Tanzania's wetter seasons.
