The Marangu Route, known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” is the only Kilimanjaro route that offers hut accommodations, providing a more comfortable climbing experience. It is often considered the easiest route to the summit, with a well-defined path and a gradual ascent. The Marangu Route passes through dense rainforests, heather moorlands, and high alpine deserts, offering trekkers a variety of landscapes to enjoy. Despite its reputation for being less challenging, the route’s popularity means it can be more crowded. The Marangu Route is ideal for beginners and those who prefer the comfort of sleeping in huts rather than camping in tents.
