Conquer Africa’s tallest peak with ease and comfort on the Marangu route 6 days 5 nights tour, Kilimanjaro’s most popular ascent. Known as the ‘Coca Cola Route,’ Marangu offers a gradual climb and shared wooden hut accommodations, complete with basic dining and washing facilities. An extra acclimatization day at Horombo Hut boosts your chances of reaching the summit, letting you explore scenic trails at a pace that aids adjustment.
While the route is famed for affordability, its key advantage is the structured, gradual ascent that supports climbers of varying fitness levels. The unique selling point? Marangu’s combination of comfort, affordability, and higher success rates for summit attempts, making it ideal for trekkers seeking a classic Kilimanjaro experience without technical challenges.
The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha and drive you to Marangu Gate. From there you follow the trail that takes you to the top of the mountain via Mandara, Horombo and Kibo huts.
The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and of moderate intensity. The only portion that is quite demanding is the approach to the summit. However, you also have the option of adding a day for acclimatization at an additional amount if you want to. The advantage of this route is that kiosks selling mineral water bottles, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are available in camp sites throughout the climb.

Discover a quieter side of Africa’s tallest peak with the 6-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Rongai Route tour package. Approaching Kilimanjaro from the north-eastern border of Tanzania and Kenya, this trek offers experienced adventurers a unique ascent far from the crowds. The Rongai route is celebrated for its tranquil trails and pristine wilderness, giving climbers the rare chance to experience Kilimanjaro’s beauty in relative solitude, especially before it merges with the more popular Marangu route near Kibo Hut.
Ideal for those seeking a less trafficked path or for travelers preferring gentler ascents, the Rongai trek is notably less steep than other options, while still maintaining a sense of adventure by using tents rather than huts. The journey traverses untouched rainforest and remote landscapes, offering a striking—if less varied—scenery compared to the Machame or Lemosho routes. One of the route’s key advantages is its drier climate, making it an excellent choice for those tackling Kilimanjaro during the rainy season.
Sleep under the stars in your tent each night, surrounded by the wild, and enjoy a sense of accomplishment as you traverse this lesser-known, serene trail. The unique selling point of this trip is the opportunity to climb Africa’s highest summit away from the hustle, enjoying both the sense of isolation and the raw beauty of Kilimanjaro’s northern face. Perfect for experienced travelers eager for a more peaceful, yet equally rewarding, trekking experience.
Looking for a classic adventure up Africa’s highest peak? The 6-day Marangu Route trek on Mount Kilimanjaro, often dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route, is renowned for its gradual slopes and comfortable dormitory-style huts—making it a favored path for those seeking a less rugged experience. While the route is considered the easiest on the mountain, adding an extra day for acclimatization is highly recommended to boost your summit success. Unique among Kilimanjaro trekking options, the Marangu route’s hut accommodations offer shelter and social atmosphere, ensuring warmth and camaraderie as you ascend towards the Roof of Africa.
