Overview
Marangu Route is unfortunately less scenic than the other routes, because the ascent and descent are along the same path. It is also the most crowded route for that reason. At the same time it is the best option to conquer Kilimanjaro for less experienced hikers, but no illusions, even this easiest way up to the Kilimanjaro summit will require a fairly good physical condition. Allocated in a small group you will have an adventurous journey to the roof of Africa. However the short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. It has been referred to as the ‘Coca Cola’ route and this has led potential climbers to think that it is an easy route to the summit. This is far from the truth to be honest!
