Embark on an unforgettable 6-day adventure to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, via the scenic and classic Marangu Route. Known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” Marangu is popular for its well-established trail and comfortable mountain hut accommodation.
Your journey begins through the lush rainforest, where you may encounter beautiful vegetation and wildlife before entering the moorland zone. As you ascend, the landscape changes dramatically, offering spectacular views of Mawenzi and Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s two main volcanic peaks.
An acclimatization day at Horombo Hut allows you to rest and explore the surrounding high-altitude landscape, helping prepare your body for the summit attempt. You will then continue across the alpine desert toward Kibo Hut before beginning the challenging early-morning climb to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m).
Reach the summit in time to witness a breathtaking African sunrise and celebrate standing on the highest point in Africa. After enjoying the summit experience, descend through different ecological zones back to Marangu Gate, where your Kilimanjaro adventure concludes.
With experienced guides, supportive porters, quality meals and carefully planned trekking days, Labonze Safaris is committed to providing a safe, enjoyable and memorable Kilimanjaro experience from the first step to the summit.

Your Marangu Route climb begins with a transfer from Moshi to Marangu Gate. After park registration, trek through the lush rainforest zone of Mount Kilimanjaro, where towering trees, colorful birdlife, and colobus monkeys are often seen. Arrive at Mandara Hut surrounded by dense forest.
Today the trail leaves the rainforest and climbs into open moorland. Giant lobelias and senecios dominate the landscape, while the jagged silhouette of Mawenzi Peak becomes more prominent. This is one of the most scenic trekking sections on the Marangu Route.
An important acclimatization day on your Mount Kilimanjaro ascent. Hike up to Mawenzi ridge for wide views across the alpine landscape before descending back to Horombo Hut. This extra day helps improve acclimatization and supports stronger summit success rates.
Cross the vast alpine desert known as the Saddle, the high-altitude plateau between Mawenzi Peak and Kibo Peak. The route becomes more rugged and dramatic as you approach Kibo Hut, where you prepare for summit night.
Begin your summit push just after midnight. Climb past Gilman's Point and continue along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), the highest point in Africa. After sunrise on the summit, descend steadily to Horombo Hut for a well-earned recovery night.
Your final day on the Marangu Route follows a long descent through moorland and rainforest back to Marangu Gate. After collecting your summit certificate, transfer back to Moshi with unforgettable memories of your Mount Kilimanjaro climb.

My 3 days safari to Mikumi National Park with Labonze Safaris was an amazing experience. Everything was well organized, from transportation to the game drives, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We had wonderful opportunities to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and many other animals in their natural habitat. I really enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and peaceful atmosphere of Mikumi . Labonze Safaris made the whole trip comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional safari company in Tanzania.
