- Marangu Route is the easiest and shortest route to Kilimanjaro’s summit
7 Days Marangu Route is the easiest and shortest route to Kilimanjaro’s summit. Marangu route boasts of being the only route on Kilimanjaro with the comforts of solar-powered sleeping huts and beds at each camp. There are communal huts and each bunk has a sponge mattress and pillow. There are 60 beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 beds at Horombo Hut. The two lower huts have got bathrooms and running water facilities while the last camp provides basic men’s and ladies’ latrines.
There are common dining huts to share meals. Soft drinks, bottled water, and beer may be for sale at the huts. It’s advisable to bring small Tanzanian bills to purchase these items (prices increase with elevation). This route is usually done in 5 days, could be done in 6 days for better acclimatization. The extra day could be spent resting at Horombo or climbing to a basecamp below Kibo’s sub peak Mawenzi.

Other Practical InformationAs you prepare to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro you will need to prepare yourself physically and mentally. So much of your mental fitness will come from how physically prepared you feel, so it is worth committing the time to building your stamina and fitness, as it will contribute to the mental preparation as well. Your first stop should be at a doctor’s office where you can consult with your physician about both the medical side of your trip to Tanzania (malaria prophylaxis, anti-diarrhea medicine, and the use of Diamox) as well as consulting about your physical fitness and your proposed training regime. Your doctor will help you to assess your physical preparedness and will help guide you on the pace and rigor of your training. Therefore, all the guidelines below should be followed only under the advice of your physician as well as your own knowledge of your body and your common sense. For physical preparation the most important thing to do is to get out there and hike. While you are on Kilimanjaro what you will be doing every day is walking, so the more you do that as your preparation the better off you will be. Ideally you should start off with short hikes, preferably on uneven trails, but if you can’t do that on a daily basis, at the very least get outside and try to walk for an hour or so each day, and when you are able, plan longer hikes on mountainous trails on the weekends. Aim for at least 3-5 miles a day on weekdays and up to 10 miles a day or more on the weekends. There are lots of good apps that can help you monitor your time and distance, such as “Map My Run”. If you have an iPhone or android phone, we suggest using one of these to help you monitor your progress.
