The Marangu route, affectionately known as the "Coca-Cola Route," is the oldest and one of the most popular paths up Mount Kilimanjaro. It follows the same historic trail used by the first successful summit in 1889. What sets this route apart is the unique accommodation it offers: climbers stay in communal A-frame huts, providing a welcome shelter from the elements, especially during the rainy season.

However, it is important to understand the challenge of the shorter itinerary. The 5-day Marangu trek is a swift and demanding ascent with a particularly steep acclimatization profile. While we offer this option for experienced climbers, 

Tazama Africa strongly recommends the 6-day itinerary for beginners.

 The extra day is a crucial investment in your safety and success, allowing your body to adapt more gradually to the altitude and making the climb significantly more manageable and enjoyable.
