5 Days Marangu Route Price for First-Time Climbers
The 5 Days Marangu Route is one of the most popular options for first-time climbers looking to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro. Known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” it offers comfortable mountain huts, a gradual ascent, and scenic views throughout the journey. This route is perfect for beginners who want a shorter climb with a good chance of reaching Uhuru Peak, Africa’s highest point.
The Marangu Route begins from the southeastern side of Mount Kilimanjaro and is the only route that provides hut accommodations instead of tents. Climbers pass through five distinct ecological zones, from lush rainforest to alpine desert and finally to the icy summit.
Over five days, trekkers ascend through Mandara Hut, Horombo Hut, and Kibo Hut before reaching the summit at Uhuru Peak and descending the same way. It’s a challenging but rewarding route, especially for those climbing Kilimanjaro for the first time.
