Highlights of Marangu Route Mount Kilimanjaro

• Nicknamed the “Coca-Cola” route due to the older days when Coke used to be bought along the way in tea huts
• Often selected by unprepared, inexperienced climbers because of its reputation for being the “easiest” route, attributing to the lower success rate
• The shortest and cheapest route, but less time to acclimatize, therefore lower success rate
• Dormitory style accommodation in huts
• Less scenic due to ascent and descent on same route

General climbing description of routes – first part

Dear travellers, the trek to Uhuru Peak is considered to be a relatively straightforward endeavor; however, ample time must still be provided for proper acclimatization to prevent altitude sickness. The three shortest routes, Marangu, Rongai and also Machame are less challenging and are often trekked by individuals with limited mountaineering experience. Taking at least seven days is the best way to avoid altitude sickness because your body needs proper time to adapt and acclimatize to high altitude. Route travel times range from five to nine days to summit and return to the base of the mountain. Also, huts with cooking facilities, bathrooms, and electricity are available on the Marangu route and camps with fewer facilities are available on many other routes. Further, all huts and many camps have rangers stationed at them with rescue facilities.

As a trekker on Mount Kilimanjaro you will have a support crew of guides and porters who are integral in helping you to reach the summit. The size of the support crew depends on the number of trekkers in a group. A typical climbing group of 2 trekkers will have one chief guide, possibly one assistant guide, 6 porters (3 for each climber) and also one cook. Porters are responsible for carrying a trekkers gear as well as key items like tents, water and also the cooking supplies. However, it is customary to tip guides and porters at the last meal on the mountain or at the end of the trip. The tipping value varies depending on the number of days spent on the mountain and the number of climbers in a group.

General climbing description of routes – second part

Summit attempts are generally begun at midnight because trekkers can reach the rim of the crater to view the sunrise. On the other hand, walking overnight also means the ground (loose gravel) is frozen, making the going significantly easier. Trekkers on the Marangu route first encounter Gilman’s Point on the rim of the crater, which is roughly a 1.5 hour hike from Uhuru Peak. But, trekkers who follow the Southern Circuit will reach the summit via Stella Point which is about an hour from the summit. In addition, both these compare with the Rongai route where the trip from where you reach the rim to the summit can be over two hours making for a very long summit day.

At the summit, for example there is a sign posted by the Tanzanian government. The sign (printed in English only) reads “Congratulations! You are now at Uhuru Peak, Tanzania, 5,895 m. AMSL. Africa’s Highest Point. World’s Highest Free-Standing Mountain.” It formerly had a fourth part of the sign, which read, “One of World’s Largest Volcanoes. Welcome.” But, the sign is covered in travel stickers from past trekkers who have left their mark on the top of the peak. Near this famous sign is also a box containing a log that many trekkers have signed.
