Description
Experience the adventure of a lifetime in just 5 days Marangu Route, Mount Kilimanjaro Expeditions, commonly known as the Coca Cola route.
Marangu Route, commonly known as the Coca Cola route is more popular because it can be done in fewer days and has permanent sleep huts at the campsites.
Summit night from Kibo Hut is steep and passes Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak. It is a shorter route with a steeper incline and less time for acclimatization it tends to have a lower summit success rate. This is the only route where the ascent and descent route is shared, thus creating more traffic.
The Marangu Route is the only route on Kilimanjaro that offers accommodation in huts instead of tents, which can be more comfortable. However, it is important to note that it is also the shortest route in terms of distance, which can make acclimatization more challenging. Proper physical fitness and acclimatization are essential for a successful summit attempt.
Before attempting any Kilimanjaro route, it is advisable to consult with a licensed tour operator, as they will provide guides, porters, and logistics to ensure a safe and enjoyable trekking experience. Additionally, check for any updates or changes in park regulations, fees, or route conditions, as these may have changed since my last knowledge update in September 2021.
