The Marangu Route, often referred to as the "Coca Cola" or "tourist" route, is the easiest and shortest path to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This route is unique as it provides the comfort of sleeping huts at every campsite, equipped with solar lights and comfortable beds. The huts are communal, featuring bunks with sponge mattresses and pillows for a restful night’s sleep.
Typically, the Marangu Route is completed in 5 days, but it can also be extended to 6 days to allow for better acclimatization. The extra day can be spent resting at Horombo Camp or taking a side trip to climb the smaller peak of Mawenzi.
