📍 kilimanjaro

The Marangu route, also known as the Coca-Cola route, is the least expensive route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. It is also the only route with the comfort of sleeping huts at every camp, with solar lights and comfortable beds. The huts are communal, and the bunks have a sponge mattress and pillow. There are 60 beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 beds at Horombo Hut. Bathrooms and running water are available at the two lower huts, while the latrines at the last camp are very basic. All climbing groups, often from several countries around the world, share meals in dining huts, which creates a jovial and energetic atmosphere. This route is usually done in 5 days, the shortest route to the summit, but this package takes 6 days on the mountain for better acclimatisation. The extra day is spent resting at Horombo or hiking toward Mawenzi.
