Safari Overview

Kilimanjaro trekking tour

Many favor the Marangu route to on mount Kilimanjaro trekking tour because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path.

The Marangu route is a classic trek to the top of mount Kilimanjaro trekking. However, it has the least scenic variety of all routes (ascent and descent are done on the same path) and is the most crowded for that reason.Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required.

The huts have communal dining halls and basic washrooms, ranging from flushing toilets and running water at the lower huts to long drop toilets and buckets of water at Kibo Hut. Also available for consumption are soft drinks, bottled water, and beer.

Marangu route is considered to be the easiest route to the summit of this highest mountain in Africa.
