Five-Day Kilimanjaro Climb: Marangu Route

5.0(2 reviews)

Ready for the challenge of a lifetime? The Five-Day Kilimanjaro Climb: Marangu Route is a trekking adventure that calls to determined climbers and adventurous spirits. Known as the ‘Coca Cola’ route, Marangu is unique in offering hut accommodations rather than tents, but don’t be fooled—this trek to the summit is no easy feat. Begin at Marangu village, hiking through lush rainforest, heath, and moorland into the stark grandeur of the alpine desert, before reaching the arctic zone at Kilimanjaro’s peak. Though the route can be completed in five days, an extra acclimatization day at Horombo Huts is highly recommended for those less familiar with high-altitude trekking. The Marangu Route’s distinct advantage is the comfort of hut lodging—a rare convenience on Africa’s tallest mountain. For trekkers seeking both a physical test and a touch of comfort, this trip package is the perfect summit solution.

This was a very well organized trip with experienced leaders and very thoughtful, kind people. They made us all feel energized and positive of the hike and our abilities to be able to summit. They stuck to the schedule but were flexible when needed. The food was fabulous too!

At first I picked Tanzania solely to climb Kilimanjaro then head back but something (or someone's) told me to make the most of this. I'm glad I did. I wouldn't have met the Maasai, met an amazing group, phenomenal tour guides and left with people I'm still in touch with after the trip. As my first time traveling abroad, I'm glad GAdventures curated an unforgettable adventure. Thank you for this experience and the memories. Here's to the next adventure!!

I had the best week in the company of G adventures and their staff and clients. I was looked after well by professional and knowledgeable people from start to finish. I belive that if it wasn't for the enthusiasm by the experienced staff I wouldn't have had a successful trip making it to the summit and back. So thankyou G adventures
