**Join us on this amazing 5-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania via the Marangu route. Also known as the “Coca-Cola” route or the “tourist route”, Marangu is the easiest and shortest way to the summit. It is also the only route which offers a stay in cozy sleeping huts with comfortable beds and solar lights, so the trek cannot be missed!**

The trip offers a **jovial atmosphere** to meet and interact with explorers from across the world in the dining huts. Marangu is a great route as it offers a **gradual and steady climb, without much difficulty.** The climb usually takes about 5 days, but we can also extend it by another day for better acclimatization. In that case, the extra day will be spent resting at Horombo or climbing the small peak of Mawenzi.

Regarding fitness, bear in mind that you must be in **good physical shap**e to get onboard. There are no technical sections, making the trek **fit for both seasoned hikers and newbies**. However, since we’ll be hiking for around 8-12 km each day, previous hiking experience will definitely come in handy.

**Starting at Moshi**, we’ll begin our adventure towards the summit of Kilimanjaro by heading towards the **Marangu Gate**. The trail takes us through a tropical rainforest until we reach the **Mandara Hut**. The next couple of days will be spent hiking to the **Horombo Hut and Kibo Hut.**

The fourth day will take us to **the highest point in Kilimanjaro, the** **Uhuru Peak** ( 5895m). And, what a feeling it would be to stand on the **highest point in Africa!** The top offers **spectacular views of the African plains**. After, relishing our time here, we’ll descend back to Horombo Hut.

Finally, a downhill trek will take us back to the Marangu gate on the last day, from where we’ll drive you to your hotel in Moshi.

**Send us a message to book your seat on this exceptional experience in Tanzania! You will have an unforgettable time climbing Africa’s highest mountain.** Also, check out another [group trek to Kilimanjaro here.](https://www.explore-share.com/mountain-guide/monkey-adventures/)

5-day Marangu “Coca Cola” route trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro

Would you like to trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania? At 5,895 m.a.s.l, it is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the world’s Seven Summits.  Join me on a thrilling 6-day program via the Rongai route!

There are six main routes to the top of Kilimanjaro. Rongai is the most remote, which means it is also the least crowded, and approaches the summit from the less forested north side.  Although it is not a technical climb, keep in mind that it does require proper acclimatization and physical preparation.

We will begin our adventure with a pre-trek briefing in Moshi. Then, on the following day, we will set off after breakfast on a 1-hour drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park. From there we will begin our ascent. Every day, we will trek for approximately 6 hours. On summit day, we will set off extra early and spend a long day trekking and enjoying the spectacular views. Finally, we will return to Moshi. You can find a detailed itinerary of the program below.

Keep in mind that climbing Kilimanjaro requires a good fitness level. It is also ideal to have some prior trekking experience. Of course, we will be there to help and guide you on the way.

So, are you ready to climb Kilimanjaro via the Rongai route? Then book your place now and start planning an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania!

We also offer treks to the summit of Kilimanjaro via the [Marangu](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/5-day-marangu-coca-cola-route-trek-to-the-summit-of-mount-kilimanjaro/), [Machame](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/mount-kilimanjaro-summit-via-machame-route-6-day-group-trek-tanzania/) and [Lemosho](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/week-long-lemosho-route-group-trek-to-the-summit-of-kilimanjaro-7-days/) routes. Check them out!

Drive to the attractive wooden village of Nale Moru (about 2 hours including a stop to get permits at Marangu). After signing in and preparing the porters, you will begin the hike on a wide path that winds through fields of maize and potatoes before entering pine forest. The track then starts to climb consistently but gently through attractive forest that shelters a variety of wildlife. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp is at the edge of the moorland zone with extensive views over the Kenyan plains.

*   Distance: 5km/3mi
    
*   Hiking Time: 3-4 hours
    
*   Habitat: Alpine Desert
    
*   Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Third Cave to Kibo Hut

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2am), commence the climb to the summit on steep and heavy scree or snow up to Gilman’s Point located on the crater rim (elev 5700m/18,700ft). Continuing, we now ascend to Uhuru Peak, which is the highest point in Africa. There are unbelievable views at every turn. Have your picture taken at the summit to show your friends and family. From here we descend, stopping for lunch and a rest at Kibo before continuing on to the Horombo encampment.

The beginning of this climb is done in the dark and requires headlamps or flashlights. It will be very cold until you start descending, so you will need all of your warm layers. This is by far the most difficult part of the trek with many switchbacks. Going slowly “pole pole” and an optimistic attitude will get you there!

Summit Day

There are six main routes to the top of Kilimanjaro. The most popular route is Machame, which boasts the highest summit success rate. The Machame route spans an overall trekking distance of around 62 k. Although it is not a technical climb, keep in mind that it does require proper acclimatization and physical preparation.

We will begin our adventure with a pre-trek briefing in Moshi. Then, on the following day, we will set off after breakfast on a 1-hour drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park. From there we will begin our ascent. Every day, we will trek for approximately 6 hours. On summit day, we will set off extra early and spend a long day trekking and enjoying the spectacular views.

Drive from Moshi to Machame Gate takes about 45 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain.

We depart the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge. At lower elevations the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue a short distance until we reach the Machame Camp.

As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the Lava Tower, called the “Shark’s Tooth” (elev 4650m/15,250ft). Shortly after the tower we come to the second junction which goes to the Arrow Glacier. We now continue down to the Barranco Camp. Although you end the day around the same elevation as when you began, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day.

*   Elevation: 3850m/12,600ft to 4000m/13,000ft
    
*   Distance: 10km/6mi

Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit.

From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. Once at Uhuru Peak you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa!

From the summit we begin our descent by continuing straight down to the Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch. You may want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down. We arrive at Mweka Camp and enjoy our last evening on the mountain.

*   Elevation: 4700m/15,350ft to 5895m/19,340ft
