About this trip

 The Marangu route is also referred to as the "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.
 

               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.
