Itinerary Overview
The Marangu route, also known as the “Coca-Cola” route, is the oldest, most well established route on Kilimanjaro. This is the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style accommodations in lieu of camping. There are 60 bunk beds each at Mandara and Kibo Huts, and 120 bunk beds at Horombo Hut. Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls and basic washrooms, ranging from flushing toilets and running water at the lower huts to long drop toilets and buckets of water at Kibo Hut.
Itinerary Detail

The volcanic remains of Maundi Crater are nearby and make a good afternoon excursion. An alternative is to simply rest and enjoy the beautiful forest around you. Hiking Time: 3-5 hours).
DAY 2:
After breakfast , the first part of the walk is a steep ascent through rain forest, but the path soon opens out onto grassy moorland and in clear weather, there are great views of Kibo and Mawenzi Peaks. We climb steadily through the moorland zone, containing giant heather and occasional stands of groundsel, eventually we reach the hut complex at Horombo (3,720 m.).
Sunrises and sunsets here are always very spectacular and the site is close to the glaciated dome of Kibo. There is a real sense of being above the clouds. Hiking Time: 4-6 hours).
