(JRO) Airport
Marangu route which is also known as the coca cola route is the least expensive route to the summit. This is also the only route with the comforts of sleeping huts at every camp site with solar lights and comfortable beds. The huts are communal, and the bunks have a sponge mattress and pillow.
There are 60 beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 beds at Horombo Hut. Bathrooms and running water are available at the two lower huts. Mens’ and ladies’ latrines are available at the last camp but are very basic. All climbing groups, often from several countries around the world, share meals in dining huts providing a jovial and energetic atmosphere.
This route is usually done in 5 days (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.
After breakfast and briefing, drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (about 1 hour), register and commence the climb. Walk through the rainforest to the Mandara encampment. A side trip to Maundi Crater is a good way to see the surroundings including Northern Tanzania and Kenya. In the rainforest, look for towering Eucalyptus trees, bird life, and Colobus monkeys.

Ascending, we now pass the last watering point, walking onto the saddle of Kilimanjaro between the peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi. Vegetation begins with upper heath-land but then disappears into “moonscape”. Dinner, rest, and prepare for summit climb.

Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), commence the climb to the summit on steep and heavy scree or snow up to Gilman’s point located on the crater rim. Continuing, we now ascend to Uhuru Peak, which is the highest point in Africa. There are unbelievable views at every turn. Have your picture taken at the summit to show your friends and family. From here we descend, stopping for lunch and a rest at Kibo before continuing on to the Horombo encampment.

After breakfast, a steady descent takes us down through moorland to the Mandara Hut. Continue descending through lush forest path to the National Park gate at Marangu. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and t-shirts will probably be plenty to wear (keep rain gear and warmer clothing handy).
A vehicle will be waiting for you at Marangu gate to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi (about 1 hour).

Впечатления от увиденного превзошли все ожидания. Мы побывали в трёх Национальных парках Танзании: Маньяра, Нгоронгоро и Серенгети. Мы видели животных на расстоянии вытянутой руки- слонов, обезьян, жирафов, бегемотов, косуль, антилоп Гну, страусов, львов, зебр,гепардов, леопардов, буйволов, гиен, антилоп Импала, шакалов, фламинго и других животных. Очень много птиц.мы побывали в деревне масаев. Об этом невозможно рассказать- это нужно увидеть своими глазами!!! Мир животных завораживает, восхищает и бесконечно удивляет! Наше сафари было замечательным во всех отношениях. С первой минуты встречи организаторов нашего тура мы были атмосфере заботы, радости! Наш гид Гиацинт прекрасный человек, заботливый, внимательный. Очень много рассказал нам об интересных фактах из жизни диких животных Танзании. Мы столько всего увидели благодаря стараниям нашего русскоязычного гида Гиацинта и крутого драйвера Палланджо ! Мы увидели огромные стада зебр и антилоп Гну! Это непередаваемое зрелище!!! Чудесное путешествие с профессионалами и замечательными людьми останется в наших сердцах навсегда!
