Kilimanjaro climb - Marangu Route - 5 days

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

The Marangu route is one of the most popular routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive route but more so perhaps the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu route in 5 days thereby getting to the summit one day earlier compared to the Machame route. This is not always the best way due to a shorter acclimatization period. That is one thing to take into account before decided to do the Marangu route. Nobody, even how fit they are, know how their body will respond in high altitude. If you want to increase your chances for making a successful summit, we recommend the Machame route. The shared hut accommodation on the Marangu route is one of the main differences compared to the other routes, where you have to camp. Mineral water, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are also sold at all the camps on this route. All your equipment and supplies are portered and our cook will prepares all your meals.

Step onto Kilimanjaro’s legendary 'Coca-Cola' route with the 5 Day Marangu Route Trek, designed for those seeking a classic and comfortable ascent. The Marangu route is famed for its gentle, gradual slopes and unique hut accommodations, offering a cozy retreat from the elements. As the mountain’s oldest and most established path, it’s considered the easiest way to the summit—making it a great choice for trekkers with limited time or those who prefer extra comfort, especially during rainy periods. While a five-day climb is possible, adding an acclimatization day is recommended for the best chance of reaching the top. This trek’s USP is its welcoming balance of accessibility and tradition, ideal for travelers wanting a quintessential Kilimanjaro tour package.
