Trekking/Camping Mount Kilimanjaro 6 Days Via Marangu Route
Joined 2024
Marangu Route it’s a trail which is located at Marangu Villages.
It’s Route is also known as the Coca-Cola Route because it is widely considered to be the easiest Route.
This is not very accurate as its short time frame does not favor acclimatization. The highlight about the path is mainly its sleeping arrangement, where climbers sleep in huts and the trail has a gradual slope to the peak. The route is almost as scenic as other routes but since the ascent and descent are done on the same path
