About this experience
The 6-day Kilimanjaro climbing via Marangu Route which is often called the "Coca–Cola route," is the oldest path up Mount Kilimanjaro and one of the most popular ones. Marangu Route might be the easiest and perhaps most comfortable way to Kili’s summit as you will overnight in rustic huts. An advantage as the nights on the mountain can be very cold. The route is well developed and the climb is constant and moderate. It follows the same trail up and down. Climbs depart every Wednesday or Friday, except during the rainy season which is usually April and May.
• Trek will be led by a professional mountain guides.
• Airport pickups/departure transfers provided.
• Multiple nights accommodation included.
• Beverages and high energy food supplied.
