ABOUT BEST 5 DAYS MARANGU ROUTE KILIMANJARO CLIMBING ITINERARY
This 5 days Marangu route is also referred to as the "Coca-Cola" route, as it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path. It is the oldest and the most well established route on the Kilimanjaro. This is the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style. Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls, basic washrooms and toilet. Short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult.
The 5 Days Marangu Route is one of the most popular routes for trekking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Termed an easier route, the Marangu Route has encountered the highest failure rate due to bad preparation and untimely attempts. These situations have prompted KINAPA officials to put more emphasis and serious measures for those climbing Mt Kilimanjaro on the Marangu Route. All camps along this route have good radio communication to the park office. Some goods like mineral water, soft drinks, and chocolates are available in these camps.
