Africa's highest mountain is yours for the climbing. Hike through rain forest, alpine meadows and high-altitude deserts to the peak and see why this is called the Roof of Africa. The Rongai route has some spectacular views, few trekkers and is therefore the one to take if you want to see wildlife - colobus monkeys, elephants, civet cats and even buffalo. The 'easiest' of all the Kilimanjaro trekking routes, it has a relatively gentle gradient and short daily stages. It has the highest success rates of all the standard climbs.
