Resumo da viagem
Marangu, also known as the Coca-Cola Route is the most popular route on Kilimanjaro. It is the only route equipped with sleeping huts, which come in handy in the rainy season. You can enjoy the views of the Kibo and Mawenzi volcanoes! Hiking on the Marangu Route will be fine if you climb Kilimanjaro for the first time. We recommend this route for beginners and those who appreciate comfortable conditions. The distance of the Marangu Route about 64 km (40 miles).
Itinerário dia a dia
After a briefing with our climb managers the day before, the guide and a mountain support crew will arrive at the hotel in the morning in order to meet you and hold another briefin. Then you will travel by vehicle to Kilimanjaro National Park's eastern entrance: Marangu Gate (1,860 m). After the quick formality of acquiring climbing permits and registering with the search and rescue service, the group will start trekking up to Mandara Hut (2,700 m). The trekking route includes passage through the rainforest (where tropical showers are highly probable), so we recommend you take not only spare clothes, but also your raincoats.
When you reach the camp, our mountain support crew will take care of the necessities, pitch the tents, and prepare lunch.
Throughout the entire Marangu route, you will be spending your nights in special huts. They offer a great alternative to those who do not want to sleep in tents.
