The Rongai Route is regarded as the easiest summit-bound route on Mt. Kilimanjaro, and is certainly lesser-trekked (and non-less scenic) than either Marangu or Machame. Wildlife can be seen on the lower slopes of the mountain and beautiful views out to the northern part of the park can be seen during the trek. The Rongai Route joins onto the Marangu Route at Mawenzi Hut.
