Your Trekking Experience in a glance
This Tour will take you to the highest point of Africa at the Mountain identified as one of Natural Wonders of the World. Also highlighted as the best places to be of all time and for a different Experience.
“The coca cola route”
This oldest Marangu Route is considered to be one of the easiest paths to the summit, given its gradual slope and direct path. Our expert guides will ensure everything goes smoothly from top to bottom while you enjoy the challenge of summiting Kilimanjaro. Being a 6 days long trek, it can be good for acclimatization during trekking.
We depart from the Hotel early in the morning for Marangu Gate for the necessary formalities before beginning our trek. The hiking trail begins by ascending a beautiful, tropical rainforest. At the upper edge of the forest line, we have the opportunity to see blue monkeys. The trail then winds its way along the beautiful hillsides until we reach the Mandara Hut.
After breakfast, we’ll begin today’s trek through the forest until we reach the moorlands. We may get our first views of the Kibo and Mawenzi peaks – two of the three volcanic peaks that make up the summit of Kilimanjaro.
This day is specifically designed for acclimatization. We’ll enjoy a pleasant hike to the Mawenzi Ridge which offers expansive views over Kibo and Mawenzi. After enjoying a few moments exploring the area, we’ll then head back to Horombo Hut.
Today is a 10km walk but it’s gradual. We’ll cross over the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo before we reach the Kibo Hut. The camp sits at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall and once we get there, we’ll enjoy an early dinner before preparing for the summit push.
Very early in the morning (around midnight), you’ll be gently woken up with a hot cup of tea and a snack before we begin our final push to the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging part of the trek. The wind and cold at this elevation and time of day can be extreme. While taking short, frequent breaks, we’ll be walking in darkness for several hours. Once we reach Gilman’s Point, you will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see coming over Mawenzi Peak.
Finally, we arrive at Uhuru Peak – the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. After spending a few moments taking in the plains of Tanzania and your accomplishment, we descend to Horombo Hut. Later in the evening, we will enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.
On our last day, we’ll have a long, steady trek down through the tropical forest. Please note that this section can be wet and slippery and another reason why trekking poles can be helpful! Our driver will be waiting to meet us at Marangu gate and transport us back to the hotel in Arusha Town. Upon arrival at the gate, we will collect our summit certificates and enjoy a well-earned, local Kilimanjaro beer. A drive from Marangu gate to Arusha takes about 3 hours.

What our client say about Us
Once in a lifetime experience
We had an amazing time during our 7 day safari. We visited the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro National Park. From the warm welcome at the airport and our stay at the lodges to our goodbye at Arusha, we had a wonderful time. All the people we met, the culture we experienced and the food we tried, every minute of it was just perfect. Everything was planned into detail and we felt looked after with loving care the whole 7 days. The culture and nature of this country is just unbelievable, the people are very open and kind, which made us feel welcome all the time.
Wonderful tripWe (6 people from Austria, Poland and Greece) booked a 10 day private safari with Tanzania Experience, visiting Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Arusha and Arusha National park, and the Kilimanjaro. Thanks especially to our excellent guide, it was a wonderful journey filled with exciting adventures. Our Guide was extremely helpful, constantly trying to find the most exciting spots, solving any problem that occurred, including getting the car that was stuck in the mud out again. If you plan a trip to see the wildlife in Tanzania, then we can unconditionally recommend this travel agency and especially our guide, they will make your trip an unforgettable one.
