The Classic Hut Trekking Adventure to the Roof of Africa
Kilimora’s 5-day Marangu package can be offered at approximately USD 1,850 per person for a group safari. The package includes Kilimanjaro National Park fees, conservation and camping/hut fees, rescue fees, professional mountain guides, porters, cook, accommodation during the trek, meals, drinking water, transfers and pre/post-climb accommodation where applicable.
Known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” Marangu is the only trail on Mount Kilimanjaro offering comfortable A-frame wooden hut accommodations with mattresses instead of outdoor camping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the Marangu Route over camping routes?
Marangu is the only route providing permanent shelter in wooden huts, making it ideal for trekkers who prefer sleeping on mattresses indoors.
Is 5 days enough for altitude acclimatization?
The 5-day route is a rapid ascent; for better acclimatization and higher summit success, we also offer the 6-day variation.
What equipment do porters carry?
Porters carry your main duffel bag (up to 15kg) containing clothing, sleeping gear, and heavy items; you carry a small daypack.
Do I need technical climbing skills?
No technical rock climbing skills are required, but a good level of physical fitness and stamina is necessary.
