Package Overview

The Marangu route is a classic trek on Mount Kilimanjaro, and at Njofu Expedition, we appreciate its charm and accessibility. Also known as the 鈥淐oca-Cola route,鈥� it is the oldest and most well-known path. People like the Marangu route because it has a gentle slope and is thought to be the easiest path on the mountain. It is also the only route with sleeping huts that are set up like dormitories.

This route up Kilimanjaro summit needs a minimum of five days, but it鈥檚 unlikely that you鈥檒l make it to the top in that amount of time. At Njofu Expedition, we highly recommend spending an extra day on the mountain to get used to the altitude when climbing Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route.

However, Njofu Expedition does not lead climbs on the Marangu route due to its popularity. The path goes up and down the mountain on the same trail, offering limited views. Despite this, Marangu remains a popular choice, especially during the rainy season when the huts provide more comfort. At Njofu Expedition, we aim to provide you with a trekking experience that offers diverse views and a unique adventure.
