Description

It might seem unbelievable to be able to climb a mountain as enormous and iconic as Kilimanjaro (5,895m) in just 5 days. However, during this trip, that is exactly what you will get to do. Furthermore, you will get to do it along the classic, Marangu Route.

Known as the Coca-Cola Route, Marangu is a great route for climbers who might not be as experienced as those who wish to climb the peak along the longer, more challenging routes. It is also a great option for climbers who instead of sleeping in tents, prefer more comfortable mountain huts, which can be found along the Marangu Route. And, while there are some drawbacks with the route, particularly the crowding that comes with both the ascent and descent being on the same path, it is nonetheless a great way to see Kilimanjaro, while also enjoying incredible views as you climb it. Finally, this route is a great option for people who are a little more pressed for time.

By doing the climb in just 5 days, the odds of successfully reaching the summit are diminished when compared to longer expeditions. So, while the Marangu Route is considered much easier than other options, the condensed timeline does nonetheless make the journey quite challenging. Thus making this a great trip for adventurous climbers looking to beat the odds.

If you want to try climbing Kilimanjaro in just 5 days, then send a request and join us along the classic Marangu Route. We have no doubt you’ll have an unforgettable adventure.

We also offer a 6-day option of this trip, which you can enjoy here.

Meeting point

Kilimanjaro International Airport.
