Trekking - Mt. Kilimanjaro

An attempt for the summit may be made from several different routes. The following is a description of the routes so you can decide which one suits your needs.

The Marangu Route Climbs lasting from 5-6 days via the Marangu Route can be arranged. The Marangu Route, sometimes referred to as the "Coca Cola Route," offers huts for overnight stays and a more leisurely trek to the top.

The Lemosho Route When Mountain Guides are asked, they all agree that the Lemosho Route is the "most beautiful" way to the top. A climb along this route can last from 7-10 days.
