The Marangu route, commonly known as the “Coca-Cola” route, is one of the most popular trails for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the oldest and most established route on the mountain, offering the unique advantage of sleeping huts instead of tents. These dormitory-style huts come with bunk beds, mattresses, and pillows, though climbers need to bring their own sleeping bags.
Starting from the southeast side of Mount Kilimanjaro, the Marangu route features a gradual ascent towards the summit. Many climbers prefer this route for its reputation as one of the easier paths to the top, despite the challenges of altitude acclimatization due to the trek’s relatively short duration. However, its popularity means it is often more crowded than other routes.
Trekking Mt. Kilimanjaro is an adventure of a lifetime.
