Kilimanjaro Marangu Route Packages – 5 & 6 Day Climbs | Book Now

Find Your Trekking Pace 5 or 6 Days on Marangu

The 5 day Marangu climb is the shorter choice. It moves from Mandara to Horombo and Kibo with a relatively quick gain in altitude. The summit night and descent are physically demanding, so consider your experience and preparation carefully.

The 6 day Marangu climb usually adds a day at Horombo Hut for an acclimatization walk and rest before ascending to Kibo. The extra day gives you more time at altitude but does not guarantee that you will avoid altitude sickness or reach the summit.

Facts About Climbing The Kilimanjaro Marangu Route

The Marangu Route is an out-and-back Kilimanjaro trail: climbers ascend and descend along the same general route. Overnight stops are normally at Mandara Hut, Horombo Hut and Kibo Hut according to the selected itinerary. Sleeping facilities are shared and simpler than a hotel.

The main difference between the 5 and 6 day climbs is the additional day commonly spent at Horombo on the 6 day schedule. Both itineraries involve a long, cold summit night and a substantial descent afterwards. Read the exact camp and walking plan before booking.
