6-Day Kilimanjaro Climb on the Marangu Route

The Marangu Route, known as the "Coca-Cola Route", is the only trail on Kilimanjaro with dormitory-style A-frame huts, complete with bunk beds, mattresses, dining halls and basic wash facilities. Over six days you pass through rainforest, heather and moorland, the open "Saddle" of the alpine desert, and the scree slopes below the summit. Unlike the standard 5-day version, this itinerary adds a dedicated acclimatization day at Horombo Hut (3,720m). You hike toward Zebra Rocks and the Mawenzi ridge, then come back to rest, which gives your body time to adapt to the thin air before summit night and improves your odds of reaching Uhuru Peak, the "Roof of Africa". You're led by certified mountain guides, supported by porters and a chef, and fed hot meals along the way. Our local team handles everything from hotel pickup in Moshi or Arusha to park fees, huts and meals. You finish with an official summit certificate.
