Tour Details
The Marangu route nicknamed “Coca Cola Route” begins in the eastern side of the mountain. It is the easiest of the Kilimanjaro routes (with about 29% of climbers taking this route every year) but needs at least 5 days to attempt the summit successfully. Unlike other routes such as Machame and Lemosho route, when taking Marangu route, climbers stay overnight in permanent huts and the trail is hardened and well built – there are no any sections that require any scrambling!
Highlights
- Dormitory accommodation in mountain huts
- High guide to client ratio
- Open group and private climbs available
- Professional and experienced English speaking mountain guide.
- A picnic lunch provided during the hike.
