About this trip

 The Marangu route with Tanzania Dakado Adventures is also referred to as the # Dakado Coca-Cola route # as it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope, direct path and the most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.
It is the oldest and the most well-established route on the Kilimanjaro. The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and moderate. Only the approach to the summit is the exception as it is slightly more demanding. This is the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style. The accommodation on this tour is in simple mountain huts, which might be an advantage compared to the camping routes.
On Tanzania Dakado Safaris and Tours, Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls, basic washrooms and toilets. The short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. Marangu is unfortunately less scenic than the other routes because the ascent and descent are along the same path. It is one of crowded route for that reason
The main itinerary difference between the Marangu 5-days and 6-days Marangu route is the additional acclimatization day at Horombo on day three.

My 4 DaysNgorongoro Crater safari was an unforgettable experience, and I'm so glad I chose Dakado Global Services as my tour company. They were so organized and professional, and their guides were so knowledgeable about the area and its wildlife. The scenery was breathtaking, and the wildlife was amazing. I would highly recommend this safari to anyone. I will turn back for Zanzibar Safari.
