ABOUT 5-Day Kilimanjaro Mountain Trekking - Marangu Route - Kilimanjaro

This route is the oldest, most well-established route on Kilimanjaro. As the climb is steady and gradual, many climbers favor Marangu. However, the short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. Marangu route has the benefit of huts along the entire route, which shield you from the cold better than a tent. Pickup and drop off from Moshi.
