TREKKING IN MOUNT KILIMANJARO :
Climb Kilimanjaro with one of the highest Rated Tour Operator in Africa.Tanzania
Marangu Route in 6Days – 5 Nights :
DURATION – 6 DAYS IN 5 NIGHTS :
Marangu route which is also known as the Coca-cola route is the least expensive route to the summit. This is also the only route with the comforts of sleeping huts at every camp site with solar lights and comfortable beds.
The huts are communal, and the bunks have a sponge mattress and pillow.
There are 60 beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 beds at Horombo Hut. Bathrooms and running water are available at the two lower huts. Mens’ and ladies’ latrines are available at the last camp but are very basic.
All climbing groups, often from several countries around the world, share meals in dining huts providing a jovial and energetic atmosphere.
This route is usually done in 5 days (shortest route to the summit) but can be done in 6 days for better acclimatization. The extra day can be spent resting at Horombo or climbing the small peak of Mawenzi.
