B – Itinerary in details

The Marangu route also known as 'Coca-Cola' route is the most popular thus a high-
traffic route on Kilimanjaro. It is the only non-camping route on Kilimanjaro where
trekkers sleep in dormitory-like huts. Marangu is mistakeably considered as the
easiest route and due to this reputation, it is often selected by many unprepared and
inexperienced trekkers. As a result, only a migre 35% of climbers using this route
actually make it to the summit at Uhuru peak. Scenically, Marangu route has great
views of the rain forest, Mawenzi peak, and the landscape below as well as the
magnificient vista from the summit.
Marangu route is ideal for those who are not confident in their ability to hike over
steeper paths and are not comfortable sleeping under a tent.
