Experience the ultimate adventure on our 6-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Climb via the Marangu Route. It is one of the most popular and successful routes to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), Africa's highest point. Commonly known as the Coca-Cola Route, Marangu is the only trail on Mount Kilimanjaro with comfortable mountain huts throughout the climb. So it is an excellent choice for beginners, families, solo travellers and anyone who wants extra comfort on the trek.
Why the extra acclimatization day matters
This 6-day Kilimanjaro trekking tour also includes an extra acclimatization day at Horombo Hut. As a result, you have more time to adjust to the altitude, which greatly improves summit success compared with the standard 5-day itinerary. In addition, the slower pace lets you enjoy the breathtaking scenery while you raise your chances of safely reaching the Roof of Africa.
During the climb, you hike through the five unique ecological zones of Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. First, you trek beneath ancient rainforest trees. Then you cross beautiful heath and moorland and explore the dramatic alpine desert. Finally, you stand on the snow-covered summit of Uhuru Peak. Along the way, you may see blue monkeys, black-and-white colobus monkeys, colourful birds, giant lobelias, everlasting flowers and unforgettable panoramic views.
