The Marangu Route is one of the popular paths for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. It's often referred to as the "Coca-Cola" route due to its facilities and huts along the way. While it's possible to complete the climb in 6 days via the Marangu Route, it's important to note that this route tends to have a higher rate of unsuccessful summit attempts due to its relatively fast ascent and lower acclimatization time compared to other longer routes.

Here's a general itinerary for a 6-day climb via the Marangu Route:


Day 1: Arrival in Moshi

  • Arrive in Moshi, Tanzania, and transfer to your hotel/lodge. This day might involve briefing sessions with your trekking company and guides, as well as equipment checks.


Day 2: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut

  • Start your trek at the Marangu Gate (1,860m/6,102ft) after registering at the Kilimanjaro National Park offices.
  • Hike through the rainforest to reach the Mandara Hut (2,700m/8,858ft). The trekking duration is around 4-5 hours.


Day 3: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut

  • Continue your ascent through the moorland. Pass the Maundi Crater and enjoy the stunning views.
  • Trek to Horombo Hut (3,720m/12,205ft). This day usually takes around 6-7 hours.


Day 4: Horombo Hut (Acclimatization Day)

  • Spend a day at Horombo Hut for acclimatization. You might do some day hikes to higher elevations and then descend back to Horombo for overnight stay.


Day 5: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut

  • Proceed to the "Saddle," the high alpine desert between Mawenzi and Kibo peaks.
  • Trek to Kibo Hut (4,703m/15,430ft). This trek takes approximately 6-7 hours.


Day 6: Summit Day - Uhuru Peak and Descend to Horombo Hut

  • Start your summit attempt very early (usually around midnight) to reach Uhuru Peak (5,895m/19,341ft) at sunrise.
  • Descend back to Kibo Hut for a short rest, then continue down to Horombo Hut for overnight stay. This day can take around 11-15 hours.


Day 7: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate, Descend, and Departure

  • Descend through the rainforest from Horombo Hut to the Marangu Gate.
  • Collect your summit certificate at the park office and transfer back to Moshi for celebrations and rest.
