Safari2Go Centric
The Marangu Experience Widely known as the "Coca-Cola" route, Marangu is the oldest and most established path up Mount Kilimanjaro. It is famous for its gradual slope and the unique convenience of sleeping in permanent dormitory-style huts rather than tents. Route Highlights Ascend through lush rainforests teeming with wildlife, cross alpine moorlands, conquer the saddle between Kibo and Mawenzi peaks, and make your final push under the starry night to reach Uhuru Peak at 5,895 meters above sea level.

Drive from Moshi to Marangu Gate. Trek through the dense tropical rainforest where you may spot blue monkeys and exotic bird species. Arrive at Mandara Hut (2,700m) for dinner and overnight rest.
Leave the forest glades and ascend through the open moorland zone with stunning views of Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. Arrive at Horombo Hut (3,720m), surrounded by giant groundsels and lobelia plants.
Trek past the last water point into the barren alpine desert across the lunar-like "Saddle" between Mawenzi and Kibo. Reach Kibo Hut (4,700m) early afternoon to rest and prepare for the midnight summit push.
Start at midnight up steep scree to Gilman’s Point, then along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak (5,895m). Witness the sunrise over Africa before descending back down to Horombo Hut for a well-deserved celebration sleep.
Enjoy your final breakfast on the mountain, followed by a steady descent down through the moorland and rainforest back to Marangu National Park Gate. Receive your official summit certificates and transfer back to Moshi.
