Remarks:

The Marangu path, sometimes called the “Coca-Cola” route, is the oldest and most established route up Kilimanjaro. Its mild incline makes it the simplest way up the mountain, and it is the only route with dormitory-style sleeping huts
A good level of fitness is recommended; an acclimatization day at Horombo Hut is built into the itinerary before the summit day
Your safety is of paramount concern throughout the climb. Your mountain guide has the authority to amend the itinerary if required due to weather, health or safety concerns
Summit night is short: departure around midnight from Kibo Hut to reach Uhuru Peak (5,895m) around daybreak

Guide: US$20–25 per day
Assistant guide and cook: US$15–20 per day
