Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Trek

5 day Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Trek

Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Trek, commonly known as the Coca Cola route. It is the oldest established route and considered to be the easiest route on the mountain. This is the only route offering overnights stays in huts, versus tent camping on all other routes. Huts have a significant impact on the overall cost because with fewer items to carry (especially tents), less staff are required in climbing crews, thus reducing the overall cost and making Marangu the most affordable route for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the second chosen route of the Africa bucket list guest. The minimum days required for this route is five, and the rate of success  to reach the top within 5 day is a bit low. Spending an extra acclimatization day on the mountain is highly recommended. That way you can maximize your chance of reaching the summit.

Facts about Marangu route

  • Distance 72 km
  • Duration: 6 days
  • less time to acclimatize.
  • lower success rate.
  • The Success Rate is 65% on 5 day itinerary

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

6 days kilimanjaro climb machame route

Embarking on a thrilling adventure of 6 days kilimanjaro climb machame route.

Machame route is a 62-kilometer (37-mile) trek from the Machame Gate to the Mweka Gate. It is the most popular route on Mount Kilimanjaro, and is known for its stunning views, challenging terrain, and high success rate.

The Machame route is a relatively difficult route, with an elevation gain of 16,000 to 17,000 feet. The trail is steep and rocky, and there are several challenging climbs, including the Barranco Wall and the Western Breach.

However, the Machame route is also a very rewarding route. The views from the summit are incredible, and the sense of accomplishment after reaching the top is unmatched.
