Five-Day Kilimanjaro Climb: Marangu Route

Ready for the challenge of a lifetime? The Five-Day Kilimanjaro Climb: Marangu Route is a trekking adventure that calls to determined climbers and adventurous spirits. Known as the ‘Coca Cola’ route, Marangu is unique in offering hut accommodations rather than tents, but don’t be fooled—this trek to the summit is no easy feat.

Begin at Marangu village, hiking through lush rainforest, heath, and moorland into the stark grandeur of the alpine desert, before reaching the arctic zone at Kilimanjaro’s peak. Though the route can be completed in five days, an extra acclimatization day at Horombo Huts is highly recommended for those less familiar with high-altitude trekking.

The Marangu Route’s distinct advantage is the comfort of hut lodging—a rare convenience on Africa’s tallest mountain. For trekkers seeking both a physical test and a touch of comfort, this trip package is the perfect summit solution.
