Overview of the 6-Day Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climb

The 6-day Marangu Route, often called the "Coca-Cola Route," is the only Kilimanjaro route with hut accommodations, offering a comfortable and scenic climb. Known for its gradual ascent and well-maintained trails, this route is ideal for those seeking a shorter yet rewarding trek to Uhuru Peak in 2025-2026.

Your adventure starts with a private transfer from Moshi to Marangu Gate. Trek through rainforests, moorlands, and alpine deserts, staying in cozy huts with beds. Enjoy gourmet meals prepared by our team, ensuring energy for the climb. The route’s steady incline aids acclimatization, boosting summit success.

The Marangu Route offers stunning views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. From Kibo Hut, you’ll make your final ascent to Uhuru Peak, followed by a descent back via the same route. For a more relaxed pace, consider our 7-day Marangu Route with an extra acclimatization day at Horombo Hut.

With Rede Tours and Safaris, the Marangu Route ensures a comfortable, guided, and memorable climb to Kilimanjaro’s summit.
