Tour Features
Conquer the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain, on this unforgettable 6-day adventure via the famous Marangu Route. Known as the "Coca-Cola Route," Marangu is the oldest and most established trail on Kilimanjaro. It is the only route that provides comfortable mountain hut accommodation throughout the climb, making it an excellent choice for first-time trekkers and those seeking extra comfort. Although the route follows the same path for both ascent and descent, it offers spectacular scenery through lush rainforest, heathland, alpine moorland, and the dramatic alpine desert before reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise. Supported by experienced mountain guides and a dedicated crew, you'll enjoy a safe, well-organized climb while experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Kilimanjaro National Park.
