The 5 to 6 Days Marangu route Kilimanjaro climbing, joining or sharing or private or group is also referred to as the "Coca-Cola" route, as it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path. It is the oldest and the most well established route on the Kilimanjaro. This is the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style. Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls, basic washrooms and toilets The short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. Marangu is unfortunately less scenic than the other routes because the ascent and descent are along the same path. It is also the most crowded route for that reason. Climb & Safari Tours® offers Marangu Route climbing for five and six days climb.

From late afternoon sunsets at Shira to the misty revelations of Kibo's great Barranco Wall, the Machame Route offers hikers a continuous scenic slideshow.
