6 Days Marangu Route Price for First-Time Climbers
The 6 Days Marangu Route is one of the most recommended Mount Kilimanjaro climbing packages for beginners. Known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” it is the only route that offers hut accommodation instead of camping. Adding an extra day for acclimatization makes it safer and increases the success rate to reach Uhuru Peak , the highest point in Africa. This route is perfect for first-time climbers who want a balance of comfort, challenge, and scenic beauty.
The Marangu Route begins on the southeastern side of Mount Kilimanjaro. The trek passes through lush rainforest, moorland, and alpine desert before reaching the icy summit.
The six-day version includes an additional acclimatization day at Horombo Hut, giving climbers time to adjust to the altitude. This improves your chance of a successful summit while allowing more time to enjoy the mountain’s incredible landscapes.
This route follows the same path for both ascent and descent, making it one of the most straightforward options for beginners and those who prefer sleeping in comfortable huts with solar lighting and shared dining areas.
