Hiking

Marangu route which is also known as the coca cola route due to its flatness like except on the summit night which is steep with switch-back/ Zigzag trail up. This is also the only route with the comforts of sleeping huts at every camp site with solar lights and comfortable beds. The huts are communal, and the bunks have a sponge mattress and pillow. There are 90 beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts and 130 beds at Horombo Hut.  Bathrooms and running water are available at the two lower huts. Mens’ and ladies’ latrines are available at the camps but are very basic. All climbing groups, often from several countries around the world, share meals in dining huts providing a jovial and energetic atmosphere. This route is usually done in 5 days (shortest route to the summit) but can be done in 6 days for better acclimatization. The extra day can be spent resting at Horombo or climbing to a rock point with Zebra stripes colors, for acclimatization and best view of Kibo Mt at the view point.
