Route: Marangu 6 Days

Group size: Max. 8ppl

The “Coca Cola Route” is the most popular Kilimanjaro hiking path, known for its dormitory-style accommodation throughout the hike. This makes it an excellent choice for climbing during the rainy season (mid-March to late May and late October to late December), as the huts provide shelter and comfort.

Enjoy scenic views of Kilimanjaro’s southern slope as you trek. Please note that you’ll ascend and descend via the same route, which can make the trails quite busy at times.
