6 Days Marangu route: An Overview of Your Trek

The 6-Day Marangu Route is perfect for those looking to take on a challenge at a more moderate pace while giving your body time to properly acclimatize to the high altitudes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Over the course of six days, you will experience a diverse range of landscapes, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, and eventually, the stunning summit at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet).
The route is designed to ensure gradual acclimatization, which enhances your chances of summiting safely.
You will have the opportunity to rest at various camps along the way, each offering its own unique environment and views.
Staying in comfortable huts throughout the trek, you will have your meals prepared by your experienced trekking team.

• Easier and Quicker Ascent: The Marangu Route is considered the most direct and shortest route to the summit, taking 5 or 6 days (with only one route for both ascent and descent).


• Comfortable Hut Accommodations: Unlike other routes that require camping, the Marangu Route offers more comfort with cozy, communal huts at each camp, equipped with beds and basic facilities.


• Tropical Rainforest to Alpine Desert: The route passes through distinct ecological zones, starting with lush tropical rainforest, transitioning through moorland, and ending in the harsh, barren alpine desert near the summit.


• Famous "Coca-Cola" Route: Due to its popularity, the Marangu Route is often called the "Coca-Cola Route," attracting trekkers looking for a more accessible path to the summit. The trail is well-marked and straightforward.
