Rongai Route day 1: Rongai Gate (1800 m) - First Cave Camp (2600 m)

Your adventure begins when your guide picks you up at your hotel and drives you for about two hours to the Rongai Gate. You then start this exciting adventure ascending through beautiful lush forests filled with diverse animal sounds. After a lunch break, you continue until the first camp on the Rongai route, which is on the less forested north side of the mountain. This quieter route gives you plenty of chances to spot different kinds of wildlife.
