Safari summary

Booking a Kilimanjaro climbing trip through the Marangu route for 5 days, 2026 is an affordable adventure. This Marangu route has more comfortable accommodation in Mountain huts, and also its terrain is gentle, which is why it is regarded as the easiest route. However, the 5-day Marangu route is a shorter, more strenuous option, while the 6-day version allows for a more gradual ascent and better acclimatization. We advise beginner climbers to choose the 6-day Marangu route option, to get a slow ascent up, especially those without high altitude alpine trekking experience.

Kilimanjaro Tanzanite Safaris Company offers fair climbing 2026 prices, and also provides group discount Kilimanjaro deals. Therefore, we provide a 5-day price below, and if you like a 6-day option. Contact us.
