The Coca Cola Marangu Route

The Coca Cola Marangu Route

The Marangu route is well known as the “Coca-Cola” route. The Coca Cola Marangu route is a classic trek on Mount Kilimanjaro. Indeed, is the oldest, most profound route. Many prefer the Coca Cola Marangu route because it is measured to be the easiest route on the mountain, given its gradual slope. It is also the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style accommodations.

The Coca cola Marangu route required minimum 5-days. However, the chance of effectively reaching the peak in that time period is quite low. Having an extra acclimatization day on the mountain is highly recommended when climbing Kilimanjaro using the Coca Cola Marangu route.

Though it is well-established, we avoid leading treks on the Marangu path. The route has the least scenic variety of all the routes. This is due to the fact that the ascent and descent are done on the same path. Moreover, it is also the busiest route. However, the Coca cola Marangu route is highly recommended only during the rainy season, where the hut accommodations are preferred over wet ground Also recommended for those who only have 5-days to climb Kilimanjaro (which we do not recommend anyhow). Otherwise, the Coca cola Marangu route is a poor choice.
