The Marangu Route is the oldest, most established path to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Often called the “Coca-Cola Route”, it offers comfortable hut accommodations, steady trails, and a structured ascent, making it a popular choice for trekkers who prefer simplicity, comfort, and predictable terrain.
Unlike other routes that rely on tents, Marangu features overnight stays in wooden A-frame huts equipped with beds and mattresses. This makes it ideal for trekkers who want to avoid cold tent nights or prefer a more relaxed trekking environment. With Natured Safaris & Vacations, you enjoy a smooth and well-guided experience from start to finish.
Usually completed in 5 or 6 days, the route passes through lush rainforest, moorlands, alpine desert, and finally the icy summit zone. Though considered one of the easier paths in terms of trail gradient, the altitude challenge remains real—so a longer 6-day itinerary is recommended for better acclimatization.
If you’re seeking a comfortable, scenic, and well-managed Kilimanjaro climb, the Marangu Route is one of the most classic and beginner-friendly options, especially when guided by Natured Safaris & Vacations.
