5 Days Kilimanjaro Climb Via Marangu Route

About this experience

The Marangu Route has been nicknamed the 'Coca Cola' route, many climbers think that Marangu route is an easy route to summit because you will sleep in huts compared to other routes where you sleep in tents. There is also optional acclimatization day at Horombo huts, this acclimatization is suggested for climbers with no previous mountain trekking experience. The route starts from the park headquarters in the village of Marangu and heads straight westwards towards Kibo. The trail goes through lush rain-forest, heath and moorland to alpine desert and ultimately the arctic zone at the peak and same route down.
