The Marangu Route, known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” is one of the most popular and comfortable ways to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the only route with hut accommodations, offering proper beds and warm meals after each day’s hike, making it ideal for those seeking adventure with added comfort. Over six days, the journey takes you through diverse landscapes: starting with lush rainforest alive with birds and monkeys, then moving into wide moorlands with sweeping views, followed by the alpine desert with volcanic sands and dramatic open plains. The final push to Uhuru Peak begins at night, and reaching the summit at sunrise is truly magical the sky glows in soft colors while clouds drift far below. Standing at Africa’s highest point is an emotional and unforgettable reward. Throughout the trek, experienced guides and porters provide support, safety, and encouragement, allowing you to focus on the climb. The Marangu Route is more than just a trek; it is a journey of discovery, reflection, and achievement, leaving you with lasting memories and a deep sense of accomplishment.

Your adventure begins in Moshi, where you’ll be picked up and transferred to Marangu Gate. Here you meet your guides and porters, complete registration, and receive a briefing.

After breakfast, you leave the rainforest and enter open moorlands. The landscape opens up, revealing stunning views of Kilimanjaro’s peaks. Today’s hike is a bit longer, taking 6–7 hours, but the steady pace allows you to enjoy the scenery and acclimatize to the higher altitude.
