Marangu route is the most popular route also locally known as the Coca-Cola route. The route takes 5 days to complete and is the only route where climbers stay in huts (on all other routes climbers stay in tents). If you are not accustomed to camping and mountain climbing you might consider Marangu route as the most suitable. For this reason it is one of the busiest. Despite the ‘human traffic’ however, it is an extremely scenic route with breath taking views of Mawenzi. There is fresh running water at all the huts except for Kibo where it will be carried by your porters.
