Overview

The Marangu route is known as the 'Coca Cola route' and is one of the most popular routes leading to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This is the only route which provides comfortable sleeping huts, equipped with beds and mattresses at every overnight station. We strongly recommend hiking for 6 days to increase your chance to reach the summit successfully as more time on the mountain allows for better acclimatization. The Marangu route uses the same path for ascent and descent.

Tour Highlights

Hut Accommodations

The Marangu Route is unique in providing hut accommodations along the way, which means you don't need to camp. The huts offer basic amenities like bunk beds and dining areas.

Mandara Hut

The first overnight stop at Mandara Hut (2,700 meters), situated in a lush forest. A good introduction to the mountain's changing terrain.

Horombo Hut

On the second day, trekkers ascend to Horombo Hut (3,720 meters), where the landscape transforms into moorland. An excellent place for acclimatization.

Kibo Hut

The route leads to Kibo Hut (4,700 meters) from where trekkers make their final ascent to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro.

Uhuru Peak

The climb to Uhuru Peak (5,895 meters) is challenging due to altitude, but reaching the summit is an incredible achievement with breathtaking views.

Mawenzi Peak Views

Along the way, trekkers get to admire Mawenzi Peak, the second-highest peak on Kilimanjaro.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Departing from Moshi, a 1-hour drive will take you through the Village of Marangu to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. We will patiently wait for our permits to be issued while watching the hustle and bustle of operations as many crews prepare for the journey ahead. Enjoy the beautiful rainforest scenery and windy trails while your guide tells you about the local flora and fauna and natural wildlife. At these lower elevations, the trail can be muddy and quite slippery.
