The unique Rongai Route known to be more scenic than the Marangu Route, easier than the Machame Route and the success rate on the Rongai is very high. The Rongai starts on the north side of the mountain just south of the Kenyan border, and is one of the least traveled routes. The Rongai joins the Marangu for the summit climb, and then you descend the Marangu Route on the mountain’s southeast side, so you see Kilimanjaro from many viewpoints.
