Safari summary

The Marangu Route, also known as the "Coca-Cola" route, is one of the most popular ways to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It is known for its gradual ascent and comfortable sleeping huts, making it a preferred choice for many climbers.
The Kilimanjaro climbing Marangu route is the only route that offers a complete climb in 5 days, unlike other routes that require 6 or 7 days to complete the climb. It is also the only route that rises and drops in the same direction, which makes it perfect for acclimatization.
The minimum number of days required for this route is 5, although the probability of successfully reaching the top in that time is a bit low. Spending an extra acclimatization day on the mountain is highly recommended, maximizing the chance of reaching the summit.
The Kilimanjaro climbing tour via the Marangu route is usually done in 5 days (the 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 the small peak of Mawenzi Peak.
