Overview
It is considered to be the easiest path on the Mountain, popularly known as Coca Cola route. Given its gradual slope and direct path, Marangu is the only Route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style accommodation. There are 60 bunk beds each at Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 bunk beds at Horombo Hut. 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.
Marangu route is a classic trek to the top of Kilimanjaro. 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.
