6-Day Kilimanjaro Climb | Marangu Route Summit Trek
Conquer Africa's Highest Peak
Africa's rooftop awaits. Six days on the Marangu Route — Kilimanjaro's classic "Coca-Cola Route" — takes you from lush tropical rainforest through ethereal moorland and stark alpine desert to the glaciers of Uhuru Peak at 5,895 metres. Comfortable hut accommodations make this the most accessible path to the summit. An acclimatisation day at Horombo builds strength for the midnight summit push under star-filled skies. Expect four distinct ecological zones, breathtaking panoramas across the African plains, and the life-changing moment you stand on the continent's highest point.
