Marangu Route
Coca cola Route
Zara Tours guides treks up the Marangu Route, which is the easiest and shortest route to Kilimanjaro's summit and is known as the "Coca Cola" or "tourist" route. This is the only route on Kilimanjaro with the comforts of solar-powered sleeping huts and comfortable beds at every camp. The huts are communal, and each bunk has a sponge mattress and pillow. There are 60 beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 beds at Horombo Hut. Bathrooms and running water are available at the two lower huts. Basic men's and ladies' latrines are available at the last camp.
All climbing groups, often from several countries around the world, share meals in dining huts providing a jovial and energetic atmosphere. Soft drinks, bottled water, and beer may be for sale at the huts. Bring Tanzanian money to purchase these items (prices increase with elevation).
This route can be done in 6 days if you're fast, but in order to do it safely, we will spend 7 days as 6 days is sometimes not enough for proper acclimatization.
Our Marangu route Kilimanjaro trek last week was incredible. We had the best service from the crew of experienced guides and porters. They were experienced on guiding travelers and knew what to do at all times. Trekking up Kilimanjaro is fun and enjoyable, despite the difficult sections close to the summit, however our crew led us through them. Service was top class, good waterproof tents, comfortable sleeping bags, good food and regular health checks. We had the best of everything! I highly recommend this local travel specialist for Kilimanjaro
We went with this local travel specialist and had a phenomenal experience. Hamisi our contact was outstanding. Very prompt responses and detailed responses, and eager to help us with our requests. I travelled with my young brother and with Alfred and his crew, I felt that I was in very good hands. He led the pack of porters and cook who supported us on the course. They kept us safe, well fed and even entertained during the trek. I am happy that we both made it to the summit and this would not have been possible without the crew's support. I thank you all for an amazing job.
It took us six days to trek up Kilimanjaro and back to Moshi where we started. The whole experience was tough but getting to the summit made it worth the struggle. We had an outstanding team of porters, guides and cook, who played an important role in getting us to the summit safely. Thank you for sparing no effort to give us a memorable experience.
We took a weeklong a trip to Tanzania to celebrate our fifth anniversary with Zara Tours. They were pretty flexible and adjusted the itinerary to fit into our needs. We did the 6 days Kilimanjaro trekking with a very experienced crew of guides, porters and cook. They took time to teach us about the mountain; terrain, trees, birds that we encountered on the climb. Equipment was great, food was amazing and the actual experience to the summit memorable. I would recommend this operator as the best for Kilimanjaro.
