The Kilimanjaro Marangu Route

Safari summary

The Kilimanjaro Marangu route is 72 kilometers (45 miles). This route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. The trail itself starts at Marangu gate. The route reaches the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro at the Uhuru peak reaching a height of 5,895 metres (19,341 feet). The Marangu route can take anywhere between 5-6 days to complete. However, it is suggested to avoid the 5-day trek as the quick ascent may reduce your chances of reaching the summit but it is good for those who have limited time but want to reach to summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The main itinerary difference between the Marangu 5-day and 6-day routes is the additional acclimatization day.

Bathrooms and running water (cold) are available at the two lower huts. Men's and women's latrines are available at the last camp but are very basic.
The route is home to various species, including colobus monkeys, birds, and unique flora adapted to different altitudes.
