Overview
Tour Overview:
Nicknamed the “Coca-Cola” Route ๐ฅค, the Marangu route is the oldest and most well-established path to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro ๐. Known for its gradual slopes and hut accommodations, it is considered the easiest trek, making it a popular choice. However, it is also the most crowded and the least scenic since both ascent and descent follow the same trail. An additional acclimatization day is highly recommended for increasing summit success rates.

๐ Best Time to Climb: January-March & June-October.
-
๐ Packing List: Full gear check available upon arrival.
-
๐ช Fitness Level: Moderate to high endurance required.
