Kilimanjaro
Marangu
Route
This is the easiest and most popular route on
Kilimanjaro. You stay in huts and there are no technical difficulties. It
is possible to do the climb in five days (four nights) but our program
includes one extra day for acclimatization at Horombo hut (3600 m). This
extra day greatly increases the chances of reaching the summit and also
makes the climb a more enjoyable experience.
