5 Days cheapest Kilimanjaro Marangu Route
Description
The Marangu route, also known as the "Coca-Cola" route, is the oldest, most well established route on Kilimanjaro. This is the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style accommodations in lieu of camping. There are 60 bunk beds each at Mandara and Kibo Huts, and 120 bunk beds at Horombo Hut. Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls and basic washrooms, ranging from flushing toilets and running water at the lower huts to long drop toilets and buckets of water at Hut. Many favor Marangu because it is the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path. However the short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. Marangu is unfortunately less scenic than the other routes because the ascent and descent are along the same path. It is also the most crowded route

Brilliant climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is unforgettable and wonderful experience trip, it was comfortable and amazing. Big up to our organizer Moorland Safaris, they deserve the best, throughout 5 days trip, my friends with my team all the way Marangu route we enjoyed to the maximum, the trip was professional and friendly arranged up to the top. I cant wait to recommend Moorland Safaris for a trip up to Kilimanjaro
Asante na Karibu tena!
Doing Kilimanjaro with Moorland Safaris was one of best trekking experiences my wife and have shared in a while. Nasir the host and owner helped select and plan for the Marangu route for its medium difficult level terrain but slightly longer route to the summit with an extra day for acclimatization to high altitude. Nasir was there to meet us when we arrived in Tanzania, he is a very charming fellow who helped us check that we had everything that was required for the climb. Early the following morning he introduced us to Frank and Omary- the main guides, gastronomy engineer Priva and other crew members. We really had an incredible time with these guys. They were dedicated to our successful trek and safety at all times. It was unbelievably awesome when we reached the summit on January 25. The experience was much better than we had imagined, standing at the top of Africa with my wife! We thank everybody at Moorland safaris for the time of our lives.
thank you for your amazing comment
