Tour Features
This 8-Day Kilimanjaro Marangu Route Trek offers a classic hut-to-hut climbing experience with 6 trekking days on the mountain. Known as the famous Coca-Cola Route, Marangu is the only Kilimanjaro route that provides accommodation in permanent mountain huts instead of camping, offering more comfort and protection from wind and rain. The trek begins with arrival and overnight at Weruweru River Lodge, where you will receive a full pre-trek briefing and gear check. You will then hike through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and finally reach the summit of Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa. After a successful summit attempt, you will descend back to Marangu Gate and transfer to Arusha for your post-trek overnight stay. This package includes both pre and post accommodation, private transfers, experienced mountain crew, meals on the mountain, and all park and hut fees, ensuring a smooth, safe, and unforgettable Kilimanjaro adventure.
