Want to take on Mount Kilimanjaro but unsure of the best way? There is a lot to love about taking this guided trek up the Marangu route in 6 days! The “Coca-Cola” route is popular for its comfortable mountain huts and the convivial atmosphere at camp. The majority of the trail is on wide paths that aren’t too steep, so it’s an excellent way to get adjusted to the high altitude.
Trekking this route in 6 days instead of 5 will not only help your body adjust to the thin air but will give you more time to relax in preparation for the very challenging final ascent to the peak. You’ll also have plenty of time to explore the landscape and even take a quick hike by Mawenzi Peak if you’re feeling energetic. Your guides, porters and cooks will take good care of you to ensure you are prepared for the challenging trek from Kibo hut up to the summit of Uhuru Peak. If you’re going to climb Kilimanjaro, this could be the perfect way to do it!

If you have opted for the optional airport transfers, you will be picked up from Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport and transferred to your hotel in Moshi.
Pre-trek briefing at your Moshi hotel. You should be planning to arrive at least one day before the start of the trek. Today you will spend time having a pre-trek briefing. The team will also review your equipment and rent any equipment which is needed.
Your tour begins with an hour's ride from your hotel in Moshi to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. You’ll have to go through some registration at the gate, but you’ll be on trekking in no time! Today your path will be through the lush rainforest vegetation, so look for birds and monkeys in the trees. A great opportunity to see monkeys presents if you decide to take the short side trip to Maundi Crater before you return to camp.
The trail today will start to climb out of the trees and you’ll begin trekking across the open moorlands. You’ll be gaining a lot of elevation today! You’ll be spending the next two nights at the lively Horombo Hut, so be sure to enjoy the social atmosphere.
It’s up to you to decide what you’d like to do today. Relax, enjoy the views, make new friends, and fuel up on hearty food in preparation for the rest of your journey. If you’re feeling restless, take a hike by Mawenzi Peak.
The landscape will change again today as you climb up into the alpine desert it will begin to look more like a lunar landscape! Your porters will be collecting water from the last source of water along the trail. You may still be well rested from yesterday, but you’ll still want to go to bed early in preparation for tomorrow morning’s midnight departure!
It will still be dark when you begin your hike sometime around midnight. Today will be the most challenging day of the trek, as the air is very thin and you’ll be hiking some very steep switchbacks with heavy scree and tricky footing. After you’ve reached Gilman’s Point the sun should be up, and you’ll have the snow-capped peak in your sights. The view from the top of Uhuru Peak will be spectacular! Make sure to celebrate with lots of photos before you begin your descent back down to Kibo Hut for lunch and Horombo Hut for the night.
Your last day on the mountain will be a welcome return to the rainforest and the lower elevations. Once you’ve reached the park gate your vehicle will be waiting to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi.
