About Simba Camp
First Cave Camp, also known as Simba Camp, is the first campsite encountered on Mount Kilimanjaro via the Rongai Route. Located in the northeastern part of the mountain, near the Rongai gate on the Kenya-Tanzania border, this small overnight campsite offers stunning views of the plains. Due to the less popular nature of the Rongai Route, Simba Camp receives fewer tourists, providing a tranquil setting for climbers. The camp serves as a serene spot before trekkers continue to the Second Cave Camp, which is approximately 8 km away, with a trekking time of about 3 hours.
