Marangu Route 6Days 5Nights –Kilimanjaro Climb
Marangu Route 6Days 5Nights –Kilimanjaro Climb
Known as the “Coca-Cola” route, the Marangu route is a classic trek on Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the oldest, most well-established route. Many favor the Marangu route because it is considered the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope. It is also the only route that offers sleeping huts in dormitory-style accommodations. The minimum number of days required for this route is five, although the probability of reaching the top in that period is quite low. Spending an extra acclimatization day on the mountain is highly recommended when climbing Kilimanjaro using the Marangu route. However, despite its immense popularity, we avoid leading climbs on the Marangu route. The route has the least scenic variety of all the routes because the ascent and descent are done on the same path, and it is the most crowded route. Marangu is favored only during the rainy season, when the hut accommodations are preferred

Marangu Route 6Days 5Nights –Kilimanjaro Climb
Day 1: Marangu Gate (1860 m) to Mandara Hut (2700 m)
After breakfast, you will be collected from your lodge in Moshi and taken to the Marangu gate. Once the necessary paperwork has been completed, your trek can begin, and you will soon be hiking through the dense rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of some primates as you head to the Mandara Hut. After a well-earned rest, your guide can take you to the Maundi Crater, where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Kenyan
interior.
Distance covered: 8.3 km / 5.2 mi approx. time taken: 5 hours Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 2: Mandara Hut (2700m) to Horombo Hut (3700m)
The day begins with an early breakfast. Shortly after you have left Mandara Hut, you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone. Approximately 4–6 hours later, the Horombo Hut will come into sight, standing at an altitude of 3700 m. From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo, and the wide plain of the Masai steppe.
Distance covered: 12.5 km / 7.8 mi Approx. time taken: 9 hours Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day3: Horombo Hut (3700 m) to Kibo Hut (4700 m)
Today’s stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the “Last Water Point,” which is followed by the so-called "saddle." This nearly vegetation-less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi. Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut, which is usually reached in about 5–6 hours. Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short.
Distance covered: 9.5 km / 5.9 mi Approx. time taken: 7 hours Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day4: Horombo Hut (3700 m) to Kibo Hut (4700 m)
Today’s stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the “Last Water Point,” which is followed by the so-called "saddle." This nearly vegetation-less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi. Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut, which is usually reached in about 5–6 hours. Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short.
Distance covered: 9.5 km / 5.9 mi Approx. time taken: 7 hours Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 5: Kibo Hut (4700 m) to UHURU PEAK (5895 m) & down to Horombo Hut (3700 m)
Today is “The BigDay"—the summit stage. You will begin your final ascent around midnight, which will be long and strenuous. Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5220 m, the climb slowly but surely goes upwards. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5681 m)—the crater rim of Kilimanjaro—where the sun will slowly start to warm up the land. You will have soon forgotten the cold of the night, and after a further hike of 1–2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5895 m. On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you, followed by a 1–2 hour break before proceeding back down to Horombo Hut.
Distance covered: 22 km / 13.7 mi Approx. time: 12 – 15 hours Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 6: Horombo Hut (3700 m) to Marangu Gate (1860 m)
The last stage passes through the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2700 m), where a warm lunch is waiting for you. Soon, you will once again pass the tropical rainforest, and after a total time of 6 hours of trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860 m). After saying goodbye to your mountain guides, a short transfer follows to take you back to your hotel in Moshi. Once there, you can take a warm and relaxing shower and celebrate your success in reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Distance covered: 20.8 km / 12.9 mi approx. time taken: 8 hours Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
