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

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 shape 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.
