Mount Kilimanjaro calls to the adventurous spirit—are you ready to answer? This 7-day trek via the well-known Marangu route is your chance to stand atop Africa’s highest summit while enjoying full-board comfort and unique natural wonders.
The Marangu route’s claim to fame is its network of comfortable travelers’ huts, offering a welcome respite after days spent traversing moorlands and crater rims. You’ll have two days dedicated to acclimatization, including a restful spell at Horombo, ensuring your ascent is both safe and enjoyable. Along the way, pass the striking Maundi Crater, explore the unique flora like giant lobelia, and take in the sweeping vistas from Kibo Crater.
This trekking tour is especially popular among young adults and experienced adventurers seeking a balance of challenge and comfort. With all essentials provided, you can focus on the journey, not the logistics. The unique selling point? A well-supported climb with ample acclimatization, maximizing your chances of reaching the summit and savoring Africa’s rooftop views.
Step onto the legendary Marangu Route—famously dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route—for a classic 6-day Kilimanjaro trek. Renowned as the oldest and most established path to Africa’s summit, Marangu’s gradual slopes and hut accommodations make it one of the most accessible options for experienced travelers seeking a less technical climb.
While the route’s ascent and descent follow the same trail, its popularity peaks during the rainy season, when dry huts offer a welcome respite from wet ground. Although scenic variety is more limited compared to other routes, the ease of the path and shared dormitory-style huts are significant draws. For those with limited time, the minimum five-day requirement offers a swift yet rewarding ascent, with the option to add an extra day for better acclimatization.
The route’s unique selling point is its combination of comfort and accessibility, making it a favored choice for climbers who value tradition and convenience on their Kilimanjaro adventure.

This three-day, guided climb takes you to the top of Mount Meru in Tanzania. Mount Meru is the third highest peak in Africa and Tanzania's second highest mountain, with the elevation of 4,568m. Located in Arusha National Park, the mountain is less popular than its taller sibling, Mount Kilimanjaro. Nevertheless, it offers a great climbing experience and is significantly less crowded than Kilimanjaro.
The ascent is quite steep and the route to the summit passes over streams, through parklands, forests and a moorland. You will reach the summit via a narrow, barren ridge, which provides stunning views. The technical requirements for climbing Mount Meru are greater than on Kilimanjaro routes.
In addition to climbing the mountain, this trip also offers trekkers the chance to spot a wide variety of wildlife as the mountain falls within Arusha National Park.
We will drive you back to your accommodation in Moshi after the climb is over. Please scroll down to the itinerary section for more details.
Breathtaking sunsets, misty peaks, and an authentic trekking adventure—these are just a few highlights awaiting you on the Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking 6-Day Machame Route. Designed for those seeking a rustic, immersive experience, this trek is a favorite among experienced hikers looking for both scenic grandeur and the camaraderie of tented nights under the stars.
From the moment you step onto the trail, porters handle your gear and a cook prepares your meals, allowing you to focus on the stunning journey. The route features a crucial acclimatization advantage: on the third day, you’ll climb high to Lava Tower and sleep low at Barranco Camp, improving your chances of a successful summit. Compared to the Kibo Hut path, the Barafu summit attempt features less loose scree, making for a more manageable ascent.
What makes this trip stand out is its proven success rate and the spectacular, ever-changing vistas—from Shira’s sunsets to the iconic Barranco Wall. For those seeking the most rewarding and popular hiking route on Kilimanjaro, this tour offers a blend of adventure, comfort, and dramatic natural beauty.
For travelers eager to summit Kilimanjaro efficiently yet comfortably, the 5-Day Marangu Route trek offers a classic experience on Africa’s tallest mountain. Known for its dormitory-style hut accommodations, this route is one of the most popular and accessible, perfect for young adults and seasoned adventurers alike. All your supplies are carried by porters, and meals are prepared by dedicated cooks, allowing you to focus on the ascent.
The Marangu Route is unique for its relative luxury—shared huts along the entire way and opportunities to purchase drinks and snacks at the camps. While it allows climbers to reach the summit a day sooner than the Machame Route, there is flexibility to add an acclimatization day if desired. The path is well-established, making it a great introduction to high-altitude trekking.
The unique selling point? This tour package combines Kilimanjaro’s challenging beauty with the comfort of hut stays, making the journey both approachable and memorable for those keen to reach the summit with an added touch of convenience.
