Kilimanjaro Marangu Route (deposit price shown)
Take on the challenge of a lifetime with our 8-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu Route, a classic and well-paced trek that leads you to the roof of Africa. Known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” this popular trail offers breathtaking scenery, a steady ascent, and the comfort of mountain hut accommodation, making it the perfect choice for those looking for a more structured and supported trek to the summit.
Your journey begins in Moshi, where you’ll meet your expert local guides, get a final gear check, and prepare for the adventure ahead. From there, the Marangu Route takes you through lush rainforest teeming with wildlife, open moorlands with sweeping views, and the stark, lunar-like landscapes of the alpine desert. Carefully planned acclimatisation days give you the best possible chance of reaching Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa.
The ultimate reward comes as you stand at the summit at sunrise, watching the first golden light stretch across the vast African plains below. The sense of achievement is indescribable—a moment that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Welcome to Tanzania, the gateway to your Kilimanjaro adventure.

Today, you’ll join your group for a guided cultural experience in Moshi, a vibrant town at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. You’ll explore local markets, pick up any last-minute trekking snacks, and soak up the Tanzanian atmosphere. A stop at Union Café, famous for serving some of the best coffee in Tanzania, is the perfect way to fuel up.
After returning to the lodge, you’ll have time to relax before your pre-trek briefing at 17:00, where your expert Kilimanjaro guide will walk you through the itinerary, safety information, and last-minute gear checks.

The adventure begins! After breakfast, you’ll transfer to Marangu Gate (1,860m), where your permits and paperwork will be processed. This may take some time, but once everything is sorted, you’ll set off through lush rainforest, keeping an eye out for colobus monkeys swinging through the trees.
After a steady 4–5 hour trek, you’ll arrive at Mandara Huts (2,720m), nestled deep in the jungle.

Today, you’ll leave the rainforest behind and ascend into the moorland zone, where the landscape changes dramatically. As you climb, you’ll begin to see the vast, open terrain of Kilimanjaro stretching out before you.
After 5–7 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Horombo Huts (3,720m), high above the clouds, where you can enjoy a hot drink, take in the spectacular views, and rest up for the next challenge.

Your final trekking day! From Horombo, you’ll make the long descent back through moorland and rainforest, returning to Marangu Gate to receive your Kilimanjaro summit certificate.
