Marangu Route overview The Marangu Route affectionately dubbed the “Coca-Cola route,” stands as the oldest pathway leading up Mount Kilimanjaro and remains one of the most sought-after routes to this day. Opting for the Marangu route means retracing the footsteps of Hans Meyer, who achieved the first successful Kilimanjaro summit in 1889. This iconic trail winds its way through Kilimanjaro National Park, traversing the mountain’s diverse climatic zones, ranging from lush tropical forests to barren alpine deserts. Notably, it distinguishes itself as the sole route offering dormitory-style huts for overnight accommodations. Considering the Marangu Route for your Kilimanjaro ascent? It’s an excellent choice, particularly during the rainy seasons spanning from mid-March to late May and from late October to late December. The provision of huts ensures you remain dry and comfortable amid inclement weather. The Marangu route presents itself in 5- and 6-day variations, with the latter proving notably less strenuous, making it an appealing option for climbers seeking a slightly less demanding trek. Marangu Route Expert Advice The Marangu route provides picturesque vistas of the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro. Nevertheless, its utilization of the same path for both ascent and descent restricts the diversity of scenery and results in a rather crowded trail. Although the allure of the 5-day itinerary may be enticing, its harsh acclimatization conditions render it considerably more challenging. As such, beginners are advised to opt for the 6-day variation or explore alternative routes with itineraries spanning 7 days or more for a more manageable ascent. Marangu Route – Summit Success Rate Over our decade-long tenure of leading Kilimanjaro climbs, we’ve meticulously gathered extensive data on summit success rates for every route, providing us with a reliable foundation of information. Below, you’ll find the summit success rates from our Marangu route expeditions: Marangu 5-day itinerary – Uhuru Peak: 83.8%; Crater Rim: 88.0% Marangu 6-day itinerary – Uhuru Peak: 86.6%; Crater Rim: 93.14% It’s noteworthy that the Marangu route’s 6-day itinerary boasts a higher summit success rate than its 5-day counterpart. However, overall, Marangu route itineraries tend to exhibit lower summit success rates compared to routes such as Lemosho 7-day or Machame 7-day, primarily due to the steeper acclimatization profile. While Marangu 6 is generally deemed suitable for reasonably fit beginners, the 5-day variation is recommended exclusively for experienced high-altitude trekkers or travelers with substantial prior acclimatization. It’s important to recognize that the summit success rates for the Marangu route, as presented here, are likely higher than those reported by most other operators. We attribute this discrepancy to several key factors: our exceptionally skilled and experienced Kilimanjaro guides, meticulously prepared and well-equipped expeditions, and comprehensive protocols for managing symptoms of altitude sickness—the primary impediment to summiting during the crucial summit night. Pumba Safaris boasts the most extensive inventory of oxygen tanks in the region, fully stocked and meticulously arranged medical kits on every expedition, and rigorous medical check-ups conducted twice daily. These measures collectively ensure that you have the best possible odds of successfully acclimating to the altitude and reaching the summit of Uhuru Peak.
