Kilimanjaro Marangu Route

Safari summary

The Marangu Route, often called the “Coca-Cola Route,” is the most popular trail to Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit. This 5-day adventure offers a steady climb through lush rainforest, moorlands, alpine desert, and finally to the icy summit of Uhuru Peak at 5,895m. Unlike other routes, Marangu provides hut accommodation with shared dorm-style bunk beds, making it a favorite for climbers seeking more comfort and less exposure to cold tents.

This route is considered moderate in difficulty and is perfect for first-time climbers with good fitness levels. The highlight of this trek is experiencing Kilimanjaro’s five distinct climate zones in just a few days—lush rainforest, heath, moorland, alpine desert, and the arctic summit zone.

Our professional mountain guides will ensure your safety and comfort throughout the trek while sharing insights about Kilimanjaro’s geology, history, and culture. The 5-day Marangu itinerary is a challenging yet rewarding journey, offering one of the most memorable adventures of a lifetime.
