Safari summary
Kilimanjaro Marangu route is also known as "Coca-Cola" or "Tourist route". its the easiest and shortest route to reach to the summit 5895m, high peak of Africa's summit above the sea level.Marangu route is a great option, as it's gradual and steady climbing without much difficulty although it is not the most scenic route as the ascent and descent are done through the same trail. And bear it in your mind that accilimatization is the key of success as so far at above the sea level 3700m comes familiar with high altitude, beside using the tablets like Diamox to reduce the risk of mountain sickness. Marangu route earsily can be trekked in 5 days, but with additional extra day on day two at Horombo hut however can be advisable added one day of acclimatization, during that day you can trek to the Zebra rock and the saddle viewing point between Kibo peak and Mawenzi peak.
