Tour Highlights

  • The Marangu route takes the same route for both ascend and descend.
  • However, we strongly recommend hiking the route over 6 days to increase your chances of reaching the summit successfully.
  • You should know that during your Kilimanjaro expedition through Marangu Route, you will be staying in the alpine huts that are dormitory style sleeping up to 5 trekkers per one hut.
