5 Days Marangu route Kilimanjaro
climb
If you are
the first time climber
and you want to climb Kilimanjaro in few days, here I have suggested you climb
Kilimanjaro via the easy Marangu route. Our 5 Days Marangu route itinerary is
the only uncomplicated to Uhuru peak on Mount Kilimanjaro
Climbing because of its gentle slopes but need optional acclimatization
day that one can reschedule to 6 days. The Marangu route is known as Coca-Cola
Route meaning simple like Coca cola. However it is the only route on the
mountain which offers accommodation in sleeping huts and serves beverages like
Coca-Cola on the way.
Itinerary:
7 Days Marangu route Kilimanjaro climb (5 Days on Mountain)
Day 1:
Arrive in Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO)You will be picked up and
transferred to Keys Hotel in Moshi followed by briefing from your mountain
guide and rest on FB accomodation plan
Day 2: We
leave Moshi to Kilimanjaro gate – Mandara Hut. Take a short drive from Moshi or
Arusha town to the Kilimanjaro Park Gate (1,830 m.) lies at the edge of
Marangu, which is an attractive village with many small coffee and banana
plantations. After completing the entrance formalities, we climb up through
attractive and unspoiled forest to reach the clearing containing Mandara Hut
(2,700 m.). The volcanic remains of Maundi Crater are nearby, and make a good
afternoon excursion. An alternative is to rest and enjoy the beautiful forest.
There is a rich birdlife at the huts and monkeys are often seen as well. [3-5
hours walking to Mandara Hut] 5
Day 3: We
leave Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut The first part of the walk is a steep ascent through forest,
but the path soon opens out into grassy moorland and, in clear weather, there
are good views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. We climb steadily through the
moorland zone, containing giant heather and occasional stands of groundsel, to
eventually reach Horombo Hut (3,720 m.). Sunrises and sunsets here are
often very stunning, the site is close to the glaciated dome of Kibo, and there
is a real sense of being above the clouds. [4-6 hours walking from Mandara Hut
to Horombo Hut]
Day 4:
Weleave Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut through Desert Saddle we climb very gradually towards the
lunar desert of the Saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo. The terrain changes to
screed and there is a palpable sense of high altitude wilderness. We usually
reach Kibo Hut (4,700 m.) at the bottom of the crater wall by midday and
the afternoon is free (to contemplate the summit ascent!!). The remainder of
the day is spent resting and eating in preparation for the final climb before a
very early night! [4-5 hours walking from Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut]
Day 5: We
leave Kibo Hut to Summit, and down to Horombo Hut We will start our ascent by
torchlight at about 1 a.m. so that we can be up at Gillman’s Point by
sunrise. The initial climb is steep over loose volcanic screen, but there are
some well-graded zig-zag and a slow but steady pace will have us up to
Gillman’s (5,685 m.) in about five or six hours. We will rest there and spend
some time taking in the sunrise. Those who are still feeling strong can make
the three hour round trip from here along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak (5,896
m.), passing close to the spectacular glaciers that still occupy most of the
summit area. The descent is surprisingly fast and we return to Horombo Hut
for the night. [11-15 hours walking from Kibo Hut to Gillman’s Point]
Day 6:
Safari to Kilimanjaro Retrace through Forest We retrace our steps with a pleasant moorland walk to
Mandara and then a lovely forest walk to the National Park gates to
Moshi or Arusha town. The greenness and lushness of the forest is quite a
stunning contrast to the summit day, and it really makes you realize how varied
the scenery on Kilimanjaro really is. [5-6 hours walking]
We
recommend you can extend your stay a little breeze on Zanzibar beaches or
Ngorongoro Crater safari from at least 2 days.
Day 7: End
of services, you will transfer to Airport for your flight back home
