This game is fast gaining popularity and is considered to be one of the easiest routes up the mountain. It is the only route starting from the north side of the mountain at Rongai small village close to the Kenya border. The climbing conditions are drier on the northern part of the mountain and there are spectacular sweeping views over the broad flat Maasai land. Overnights are spent in camping tents. The summit is reached via the east side of Kibo and descent is via the Marangu route.
