Description

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.

Great Service and Beautiful Management

In late November 2025, four friends and I from India did the Marangu Route with Aardvark Expeditions, and it was a great experience every step of the way. In the weeks leading up to our climb, we exchanged many emails with the Aardvark Expeditions sales staff. Their quick responses and thorough explanations were what persuaded us to book with them. While climbing, our guide (Gabriel and Fred) were extremely professional. They adapted their pace to ours, provided encouraging words and advice to help us acclimatise, and made sure we were safe at all times. The food that Erik and Abuu prepared was another highlight. The meals were fresh, filling and served to us with a smile. Aardvark Expeditions made our first Kili attempt feel possible, secure and fun. Highly recommended!

Operator response

Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words about the quality of our service, which is the hallmark of our company work ethic. We appreciate your custom. Kind regards

Marangu Climb Made Easy with Aardvark Expeditions

Our 6-day journey on the Marangu Route was handled by Aardvark Expeditions, and we couldn't have asked for better service! As a group of only five people from India, we received excellent personal service and attention from every member of the team. Our guides (Bariki and John) were very supportive, knowledgeable and patient, while the chefs (Erik and Abuu) created tasty meals that energised us every day for the long trek ahead. We were referred to Aardvark Expeditions by several friends, and now we understand why! The sales team is very prompt and friendly, and offers excellent service. The whole experience from booking to reaching the summit was flawless!
