If you are looking for an off-the-beaten-track wilderness experience, then the Rongai Route on mount kilimanjaro is an excellent option. At least, if you are pre-acclimatized or used to high altitudes and looking for a challenge.
The Rongai Route is also a good choice during rainy season as the northern slopes tend to attract less rain than the southern slopes. However, there is no guarantee. You might be lucky and have a mostly dry climb, or it might still rain a lot even on the northern slopes. There’s really no way to predict the amount of rain at the time of your booking.
If solitude is what attracts you to the Rongai Route, and you are open to considering a longer climb of 8 days or more, then we recommend that you also consider the 8-day Grand Traverse or 8-day Northern Circuit for a more varied scenery and beneficial altitude profile.
