A 5-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Marangu Ascent is a trek up the roof of Africa through the Marangu route. We know that you have been eyeing this mountain and are ready to take a journey that gives the satisfaction of not only a conquest but also elevates your spirit.
Also known as the Coca-Cola route, the Marangu Route offers the friendliest trek up the mountain, with comfortable nights in the huts situated along the camps up the route. It is the tourists’ preference since it is referred to as the easiest route. It is also easy on the track since the trail is the same on your way up and down. We will travel to Tanzania a day before and spend the night at a hotel to have enough time to rest before we start the trek. This also allows us to confirm we have all we need and organize for any missing items before starting the hike the next day.
The hike starts at Marangu Gate and proceeds through the Mandara, Horombo, and Kibo huts. Finally, it goes to Uhuru Peak before going down the same points. Prepare your spirit, and let’s elevate it together on the mountain. Your adventure awaits!
