Detailed Overview

The Marangu Route is one of the easier routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro and the shortest, but you shouldn’t underestimate the altitude. It has well developed paths and less steep sections, which lead through a beautiful landscape of rainforest, heath and desert landscapes to the glacier zone. If the weather is fine you can enjoy beautiful views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. However, the possibility of acclimatization is less than on other routes and many have had to turn back because of altitude sickness.

The route can be done in 5 days, but 6 days are advisable because of the better acclimatization. This route is a good option for those with no camping experience or who don’t like camping, because it is the only route that has the luxury of sleeping huts along the way with evening meals taken in a communal dining area. There are even showers (cold) and some flush toilets. This is, why this route is also called the ‘Coca Cola’ Route.
