Marangu Route – Climb Kilimanjaro on the Traditional Marangu Route

Marangu Route

The Marangu Route is the oldest hiking route on Kilimanjaro and remains one of its most popular ones. This because it is the only route that offers hikers huts to sleep in, and the only route where hikers can buy soft drinks at camps—hence also nicknamed “Coca Cola Route”.

With its gradual rather benign slope, the Marangu Route is also considered the easiest route on Kilimanjaro. How ironic that it also has the lowest success rate! This because many hikers attempt to scale the mountain relatively unprepared in only five days, which does not allow for sufficient acclimatization.

However, this need not be the case. If you choose the Marangu Route for its relatively higher level of comfort, simply add in few extra days. And bring along some good books or games to keep entertained while resting.
