"The Marangu Route is Kilimanjaro's oldest and most established path, earning its 'Coca-Cola Route' nickname from the permanent huts and relative accessibility."
Over six days you'll ascend through rainforest, heathland, moorland and alpine desert before the final summit push to Uhuru Peak at 5,895m. Hut accommodation makes this the most comfortable route — ideal for those who prefer not to camp.
