Nalemuru gate to Simba camp through maize fields and pine.
7 days · Uhuru Peak · 5,895m
Rongai Route
The only route approaching from the north, close to the Kenyan border. Drier underfoot, far fewer walkers, and a steady gradient that suits anyone who would rather climb quietly.
Day by day
Second Cave camp with clear views of Kibo's eastern face.
Kikelewa caves across open moorland.
Short steep climb to Mawenzi Tarn beneath the jagged peak.
Across the saddle to Kibo hut at 4,700m.
Summit night via Gilman's Point to Uhuru, down to Horombo.
Marangu gate descent and transfer to Arusha.
