Kilimanjaro Marangu Route Climb

6  DAYS
FROM  1469  USD

The 6-day Marangu Route is known as the “Coca-Cola Route” for its relative ease and comfort. It is the only route with shared hut accommodations, offering a different experience compared to tented camping. The trail features beautiful rainforest, open moorlands, and stunning views of the Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. This climb is entirely private, whether you’re trekking solo or in a group. While the trek itself lasts 6 days on the mountain, the full itinerary spans 8 days, including arrival and departure.
