6 Days Marangu Kilimanjaro Climb

The Marangu Route is also known as the “Coca Cola” or “tourist” route. It is the easiest and shortest route to the summit. This is also the only route with the comforts of sleeping huts at every campsite complete with solar lights and comfortable beds. The huts are communal, and the bunks have 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. Men’s and women’s latrines are available at the last camp but are very rudimentary.

This route is usually done in five days but it can be done in six for better acclimatization. The extra day can be spent resting at Horombo or climbing the small peak of Mawenzi.
