Marangu Route, commonly known as Coca Cola route is more popular because it can be done in fewer days and has permanent sleep huts at the campsites.
Summit night from Kibo Hut is steep and passes Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak. It is a shorter route with a steeper incline and less time for acclimatization it tends to have a lower summit success rate. This is the only route where the ascent and descent route is the same, thus creating more traffic. Marangu remain the best route for those who have limited time for Kilimanjaro climbing adventures.
Upon arrival to Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met and transferred for overnight accommodation at your hotel. Your head guide will meet you for the short briefing about Mount Kilimanjaro and Marangu route, gear check and arrange for you to hire any equipment you may need.
