Safari summary

Welcome on an unforgettable journey to the summit of Africa's highest peak with our exclusive 5-day Marangu Majesty tour. This meticulously crafted adventure promises the ultimate Kilimanjaro experience, blending the thrill of summiting with the comfort of personalized attention.

The Marangu route is also referred to as the "Coca-Cola" route, as it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope, direct path and the most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.
It is the oldest and the most well-established route on the Kilimanjaro. The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and moderate. Only the approach to the summit is the exception as it is slightly more demanding. This is the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style. The accommodation on this tour is in simple mountain huts, which might be an advantage compared to the camping routes.

Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls, basic washrooms and toilets. The short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. Marangu is unfortunately less scenic than the other routes because the ascent and descent are along the same path. It is one of crowded route for that reason

Join us on this exclusive Marangu Majesty tour for an unparalleled Kilimanjaro experience, where every step is a testament to your determination and spirit of adventure.
