The 5–6 Days Kilimanjaro Marangu Route, famously known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” is the only Kilimanjaro route offering hut accommodation instead of camping. This makes it a popular choice for trekkers who prefer basic comfort, solid roofs, and shared dining huts on the mountain.

Approaching Kilimanjaro from the southeastern side, Marangu follows a well-established trail through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and arctic summit zones. While it is often considered the easiest route technically, proper acclimatization is essential—making the 6-day option highly recommended for better summit success.

This route is ideal for first-time climbers, travelers who dislike camping, and those seeking a classic Kilimanjaro experience guided by experienced local professionals.
