6 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Marangu Route

The 6-day Marangu Route often called the “Coca-Cola Route” is the only Kilimanjaro trail with hut accommodations making it a popular choice for trekkers seeking a more comfortable climb. This classic route follows a gradual ascent passing through lush rainforests alpine meadows and volcanic landscapes before reaching the icy summit of Uhuru Peak (5895m). Unlike other trails you’ll stay in wooden mountain huts with bunk beds offering a warmer and drier experience compared to tent camping. With an extra acclimatization day at Horombo Hut this itinerary improves your chances of successfully reaching the summit while allowing you to fully enjoy the journey.

This route provides stunning scenery along the way from the towering trees of Marangu Forest to the Mawenzi volcanic peak and the breathtaking glaciers of Kibo. The well-maintained trail makes it accessible to both beginner and experienced hikers but the final summit push remains a challenging and rewarding feat. The Marangu Route’s round-trip format (ascending and descending on the same path) offers a unique opportunity to retrace your steps and appreciate the changing landscapes on your descent. With expert guides and well-planned logistics this trek ensures a safe enjoyable and unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience.
