Safari summary
6 days Kilimanjaro Trekking tour via the Marangu route which is also known as the coca cola route is the cheapest route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This is also the only route with the comforts of sleeping huts at every camp site 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. Mens’ and ladies’ latrines are available at the last camp but are very basic.
