5 Days Marangu Route
Being the second most popular route to climb Kilimanjaro, Marangu route is nicknamed “Coca-Cola†route as its climb is easy as ones drinking Coca-Cola.
According to our annually research and report journals, the average summit successful rate across all climbers using that Marangu route is 65%. However summit success rate depends heavily upon climate (rainfall & snow) and person fitness. The climate however in this route is not that much conducive, expects the acclimatization problem at Kibo and Horombo camp (low oxygen as altitude increases).
The hike via Marangu route can be done for 5 and/or 6 days, and the points on the trail are as follows
Marangu Gate (starting point)
Mandara Hut
Horombo Hut
Kibo Hut
