Marangu Route
Overview Day by Day Rates Inclusions Getting There Offered By
The Marangu Route, often referred to as the "Coca-Cola" route, is one of the most popular and easier routes for trekkers to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This route is preferred for its gradual incline and the fact that it offers hut accommodations (as opposed to camping), making it a more comfortable option for those looking for a shorter trek.

Day by Day

Day 1 Mount Kilimanjaro
⏱Morning 🏨Budget camping 🍽Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Your trek begins at the Marangu Gate, where you will register and meet your guide. You will then begin your trek through tropical rainforests, which is home to unique flora and fauna. The trek is relatively easy, with gradual ascents as you pass through dense rainforests. The path is shaded by tall trees, and you will hear the sounds of birds and wildlife. After around 4-5 hours of hiking, you will reach Mandara Hut, which is located at 2,700 meters. It is a great spot for acclimatization and rest. You can explore the surroundings and enjoy panoramic views of the forest.
Day 2 Mount Kilimanjaro
⏱Morning 🏨No accommodation (End of tour) 🍽Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks
The ascent offers spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding areas. You will see vistas of Mawenzi Peak (the second-highest peak of Kilimanjaro), as well as the expansive landscape below. Horombo Hut is one of the most popular resting points on the Marangu Route and an excellent spot for acclimatization before heading to higher altitudes. After the trek, you can enjoy dinner and relax in the hut before making your way back down. At the end of your descent, our team will provide a smooth drop-off at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your onward journey.
