Safari summary

6 Days Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climbing in February is a six-day trek to Uhuru Peak using the Marangu Route, also called the Coca-Cola Route. This popular Kilimanjaro trail begins at Marangu Gate and passes through rainforest, heathland, moorland and alpine desert before reaching the summit at 5,895 meters. The route is different from many other Kilimanjaro routes because trekkers sleep in permanent mountain huts instead of tents. The six-day schedule also includes an acclimatization day, giving you more time to adjust before the summit attempt. If you are ready for a rewarding Tanzania mountain journey, contact us today and start planning.
