Discover our top tours similar to 5 Day Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Trek that you might like.
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.
day 1 - Moshi -Marangu gate - Mandara Hut
Marangu gate (1700m) - Mandara Hut 2740m – (5,500ft to 9,000ft)
After breakfast and briefing, drive to the Marangu village and proceed to Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (45 minutes). Register at Kilimanjaro National Park Authority offices and commence the climb. Walk through the rainforest to the Mandara hut located at 9,000 ft / 2,740 m. A side trip to Maundi Crater is a good way to see the surroundings, including Northern Tanzania.

Accommodation: Sleeping huts
day 2 - Mandara Hut - Horombo Hut
Mandara Hut (2,740m) – Horombo Hut (3700m) - (9,000ft to 12,100ft)

After about 1 hour, you will leave the glades of the rainforest and follow an ascending path on the open moorlands to the Horombo hut. The view of Kibo summit and Mawenzi are stunning on clear days. In most cases, giant lobelias and grounsels are found on your way. Horombo hut is a point used by most climbers for acclimatization purposes, whereby they spend an extra day. Spending an extra day here boosts your chances of a successful summit climb to the roof of Africa.
Duration:7 hours
Accommodation: Sleeping huts
day 3 - Horombo Hut – Kibo Hut
Horombo Hut (3700m) – Kibo Hut (4700m) - (12,100ft to 15,400ft)

At Kibo, you will have dinner, take a nap and at the middle of the night around 23:30 pm, prepare for the summit climb.

Accommodation: Sleeping huts
day 4 - Kibo Hut - Summit Uhuru Peak - Horombo Hut

Around midnight, wake up for the final ascent to Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa. The hike begins with a demanding five hour hike to Gillman's Point on the crater rim. Although this is considered to be the easiest of the three crater ascent paths, it is still extremely difficult. The first major rest stop, William's Point, lies at 5000 meters and is approximately a two hour hike Kibo Hut. Continue on for thirty minutes before beginning the rocky switchbacks that will continue to Gillman's Point (5,681 meters).
The hike from Gilman's to Uhuru Peak is a gradual climb and as far as hikes go, not very difficult. The altitude, however, makes the hike long and tiring. The crater rim hike takes approximately two hours. Upon reaching Uhuru, take photos of your guide and group at the peak before beginning the descent to Horombo Hut.
On the way down from the summit, you will see all of the magnificent views you could not see on the way up. Stop for a short break and snacks at Kibo Hut before continuing on to Horombo Hut. Reach Horombo Hut in the afternoon and enjoy your last night on the mountain.
