Tour Overview

This route is located from south east of Mount Kilimanjaro and beginnings with short drive from Moshi town to Marangu gate. This Is the oldest and well-established route with its nickname of Coca-Cola route which derived from the fact of being the only route people sleep in the hut instead of tents as other route. Marangu route is considered as the easiest route on Mount Kilimanjaro due to its gradual slope, although in the real fact should not be considered as the fact of truth and despise the necessary required preparation. This route has its own test of adventure, scenery, and challenge and in contrary to other route, it offers a comfort sleep in the shared mountain hut with solar light and comfortable sponge mattress. The uniqueness of the route is that it is the only route where client will get time to visit Zebra rocks located close to mawenzi peak. The trek uses the same route for hiking up and down and offer a great view and panoramic vistas. This hike can be climbed in five days, although at Moipo Adventures we recommend a 6 days hike with better acclimatization at Horombo hut with Zebra rock visit. Our success rate is 95% on this route.

We climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with Moipo adventures in September, 2022. They were very organized with excellent quality equipment and great food even on the mountain. The guide were very knowledgeable, the trip went without hitch and were able to successfully summit because of Moipo. We highly recommend them
