The Marangu Route, fondly called the "Coca-Cola Route," is the only Kilimanjaro path with hut accommodations, making it the most comfortable option for trekkers who prefer not to camp.

It is also the most budget-friendly route and follows a direct path to the summit. However, its quick ascent can make acclimatization challenging.

This route offers stunning views of the rainforest and moorland zones. Perfect for first-time climbers looking for an affordable and manageable adventure.
