Marangu Route ( Marangu Trekking or
Marangu Climbing)
Marangu Route is the easiest route to the summit of 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, 5896m, from
craggy Mawenzi, 5149m, to Kibo Hut. From here an early start is made
for the ascent to Uhuru Point (the highest top of Kibo). The path
zig-zags up steep screen 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 a further 1h30min. around the rim.
Accommodation on the mountain is in comfortable huts. You will need
a sleeping bag, warm clothes and walking poles. This is a tough
walking trip but within the limits of a fit individual used to
walking in mountain areas. An extra day for acclimatization to the
altitude is recommended at Horombo from where there are various
walks to enjoy.
