Experience Mount Kilimanjaro through the classic Marangu Route, one of the mountain’s most established climbing routes and the only main route offering overnight accommodation in mountain huts. Over six days, trek through Kilimanjaro’s changing ecological zones, from lush rainforest and open moorlands to the high alpine environment surrounding Kibo.

Known for its distinctive hut accommodation and relatively gradual trail profile, the Marangu Route offers a different experience from Kilimanjaro’s camping routes. The six-day itinerary includes additional time for acclimatization, helping you adjust to the increasing altitude while enjoying the spectacular scenery along the way.

Your journey takes you through Mandara and Horombo before continuing toward Kibo Hut, where you prepare for the final ascent. The summit attempt begins in the early hours, leading you toward Gilman’s Point and along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak at 5,895 metres—the highest point in Africa.

With Mbogo Expeditions, your climb is supported by an experienced mountain crew and carefully organized from the first trail to the final descent. The 6-day Marangu Route is an excellent choice for travellers who prefer hut accommodation and a structured approach to climbing Kilimanjaro.
