Marangu Route

The Marangu Route is often called the “Coca-Cola” route due to the availability of beverages in huts along the trail. This 5-day itinerary is a more compact version of the usual 6-day climb, which is designed to allow climbers to acclimatize effectively. The route takes you through diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests to alpine desert zones. On summit night, you’ll start the final ascent in the darkness, reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise. It’s a challenging but rewarding journey that provides a unique opportunity to conquer Africa’s highest peak while experiencing its changing landscapes. Kilimanjaro’s Marangu Route is known for its more straightforward ascent and descent compared to other routes, making it suitable for climbers who want a shorter but still memorable Kilimanjaro experience.
