Known as the Coca-Cola route, the Marangu route approaches Kilimanjaro from the southeast. It is the oldest, most well-established route. Many favor the Marangu route because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path. Marangu is the only route that offers sleeping huts in dormitory-style accommodations. There are 60 bunk beds each at Mandara and Kibo Huts, and 120 bunk beds at Horombo Hut.

ITINERARY
Elevation (ft): 6,046 ft to 8,858 ft -Distance: 8 km -Hiking Time: 4-6 hours -Habitat: Rain Forest After breakfast, we head to the National Park gate for the necessary formalities before beginning our trek. The trail climbs through a tropical rain forest, near the upper edge of the forest line (keep an eye out for blue monkeys). The trail then widens to expose beautiful hillsides until we reach Mandara Hut.
-Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut Elevation (ft): 8,858 ft to 12,205 ft -Distance: 12 km -Hiking Time: 6-8 hours -Habitat: Health Our second day on the trail begins with a steep, but not technical ascent through forest and opens into high moorland. If weather allows, we may get our first views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks, two of the three volcanic peaks that make up the summit of Kilimanjaro.
-Elevation (ft): 12,205 ft to 14,160 ft -Distance: 10 km -Hiking Time: 3-5 hours -Habitat: This is an extra day to acclimatize and can be spent day hiking on Mawenzi Ridge. The unique landscape offers motivating views of Kibo and Mawenzi.
-Elevation (ft): 12,205 ft to 15,430 ft -Distance: 10 km -Hiking Time: 6-8 hours -Habitat: Alpine Desert. Today we climb gradually, then cross the lunar desert of the Saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach our campsite which sits at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall. Once at camp we rest, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the next day.
-Elevation (ft): 15,430 ft to 19,341 ft -Distance: 22 km -Hiking Time: 10-13 hours -Habitat: Arctic Leaving very early in the morning (around midnight), we continue our way to the summit in hopes of catching the sunrise. The trail is a series of switchbacks up a steep scree slope, with climbers stretched into the darkness, visible only by headlamps. It is important to focus on breathing and foot placement. The views from the summit are dramatic and immense. After spending a few moments taking in the plains of Africa and your accomplishments, we descend to Horombo Hut.
-Elevation (ft): 12,205 ft to 6,046 ft -Distance: 20 km -Hiking Time: 5-7 hours -Habitat: Rain Forest. A long trek is in store for today, however, it is mostly downhill. Once at the park headquarters at Marangu gate, we pick up our certificates that prove our achievement. Vehicle transfer to hotel for a celebration.

With the ever-changing circumstances, our focus is on the safety of our guests, both current and future.
As with all our tours, we will meet your arriving flight at the airport. Instead of shaking hands, our vaccinated guides and support staff will greet you from a distance and with a mask on. Our mountain and safari guides are trained on Covid-19 safety protocols.
Your dedicated guide will accompany you for the duration of your adventure, ensuring that safety protocols are adhered to every step of the way. Should you have any concerns at any point during your trip, your safari or mountain guide will be your main point of contact.
Many airlines and countries now require Covid-19 tests before flying home. Testing facilities are operational throughout East Africa, and our ground team will help you navigate the test process and assist with getting test results. In some cases, we can also arrange for a test practitioner to come to your hotel, thus avoiding a trip to a testing facility. The cost to facilitate and procure each Covid test varies ($50 - $100) and results are received within 24 hours.

As of October 11, 2021, all of our safaris and climbs are staffed by guides, cooks, and porters who are vaccinated against Covid-19.
As with all of our Kilimanjaro climbs, we sanitize and disinfect all equipment in between each Kilimanjaro climb.
