Kilimanjaro route guide
 |
|
When hiking up Kilimanjaro
you have the option of starting on six different routes, and three different
ascent options; via the Barafu camp, via the Kibo huts or via the Arrow glacier
camp. It is highly recommended that the Arrow glacier camp ascent ONLY be
used by experienced high altitude mountaineers, the other two options and be
taken without any necessary experience. |

MARANGU ROUTE The Marangu route is the most comfortable route of all, due to the fact that you will not have to camp in tents at each end of the day. The distance covered on each day, except for the summit attempt, is shorter compared to the other routes. Three permanent hut installations accommodate hikers on this route. The Marangu route can be done in a minimum 5 days, but is recommended to be used as a six day route for more acclimatization. Due to the comfort up to base camp at Kibo huts, this route is also known as the Coca-Cola route. |
