6-Day Marangu Route

The 6-Day Marangu Route is one of the most popular ways to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Often called the “Coca-Cola Route,” it is the only route on the mountain that offers comfortable hut accommodation instead of camping. This makes it a great option for trekkers who want a moderate and well-structured climb with good support along the way. The route starts at Marangu Gate and passes through several beautiful landscapes, from lush rainforest and moorland to alpine desert and glaciers near the summit. Along the journey, trekkers stay at Mandara Hut, Horombo Hut, and Kibo Hut, with an important acclimatization day at Horombo Hut to help the body adjust to the altitude.With professional guides, proper pacing, and the extra acclimatization day, the Marangu Route offers a high summit success rate and a safe Kilimanjaro experience. The trek ends at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa at 5,895 meters, before descending back to Moshi for a well-deserved rest and celebration.
