Itinerary
Embark on a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu Route, often known as the “Coca-Cola Route.” This is the only route offering overnight stays in mountain huts equipped with solar-powered lighting and is used by nearly half of all Kilimanjaro climbers.
The trek offers beautiful scenery, with each day passing through a different climate zone, from lush rainforest to alpine landscapes. The standout moment is summit day, when you walk from Gillman’s Point along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, passing impressive glaciers and ice cliffs along the way.
On clear mornings, the views are exceptional, stretching across the Rift Valley, Mount Meru, and the Maasai Steppe. Join this classic route for a memorable ascent to Africa’s highest mountain.
