5-Day Kilimanjaro Climb via the Marangu Route

The Marangu Route, known as the "Coca-Cola Route", is Kilimanjaro's classic trail and the only one where you sleep in dormitory-style A-frame huts instead of tents. It is the shortest, most direct way to Uhuru Peak at 5,895m, the highest point in Africa. Starting at Marangu Gate (1,860m), you climb through rainforest, heather and moorland, and the alpine desert of the Saddle, then up the arctic summit cone. Nights are spent at Mandara, Horombo and Kibo huts. Licensed English-speaking guides, porters and a chef support you the whole way, with hot meals served in the huts' dining halls. This is a strenuous, fast-paced climb for fit trekkers, and high-altitude fitness is needed. The rapid altitude gain means the summit success rate is moderate, around 70-80%. We take care of park fees, hut accommodation, meals and transfers from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha, so you can focus on the mountain.
