Kilisa GOOD as the first

This was my second trip to Tanzania, as I was here with my 16-year-old son on October 2017 ... It was memorable and unforgettable, promised to come back and so I came with my 23-year-old daughter this year. This visit was as good as the first. We arrived to check in early, meet the tour group we were sharing the experience with and they were awesome, got geared up and then started our adventure We did the 6-days trek via the Machame route which is a very beautiful scenery and it was worthy every minute. The landscapes are really amazing. The hiking is tough but thanks to the guides who were fantastic and reassuring and did put our minds at ease and answered questions while gave information every step of the way. The porters were Incredible Fresh, delicious meals everyday made the adventure even better. And shout out to our chef Juma a.k.a Mama Mayoo, lol thats was what we were told to call him The WHOLE CREW were friendly and experienced had so much energy and they made everything funny and exciting! [They seem genuinely glad to be of service to you] as they provided a great experience for us. They made my daughter feel like a queen and went above and beyond their role and made us feel relaxed and comfortable with the whole trek definitely worth every penny The best part was the experience, because this is really a lifetime experience that we will not forget. We highly recommend this event for those seeking a safe, but breath-taking, experience in Kilimanjaro mountain Climb.

Five-Day Kilimanjaro Climb: Marangu Route trip - alternative tour available

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.

Kilimanjaro Climb: 6 Days Marangu Route

The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha and drive you to Marangu Gate. From there you follow the trail that takes you to the top of the mountain via Mandara, Horombo and Kibo huts. The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and of moderate intensity. The only portion that is quite demanding is the approach to the summit. However, you also have the option of adding a day for acclimatization at an additional amount if you want to. The advantage of this route is that kiosks selling mineral water bottles, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are available in camp sites throughout the climb.
