5 Days Marangu Route Overview
Ascend Tanzania LTD – Your Premier Local Experts in Kilimanjaro Adventures
This is the shortest route and variant to the summit on Kilimanjaro, sometimes called the Coca-Cola Route. The Marangu route takes you at a gentle pace through forests, moorlands and then across the Saddle, a high-altitude desert separating the main summit, Kibo, 5895m, from craggy Mawenzi, 5149m, to Kibo Hut. From here an early start is made for the ascent to Uhuru Point (the top of Kibo). The path zig-zags up steep scree which is easier to climb when frozen. The views from the crater rim at Gillman’s Point at dawn can be spectacular. Uhuru Peak lies just above. This is a tough walking trip but within the limits of a fit individual who has fair experiecne in high altitude trek.
"Excellent Company To Climb With"
I booked my Kilimanjaro climb (6 Day Machame route) with Ascend Tanzania because I was travelling solo and on a budget
