À PROPOS DE L'ITINÉRAIRE DE MARANGU
La route Marangu est également appelée route "Coca-Cola", car elle est considérée être le chemin le plus facile de la montagne, compte tenu de sa pente douce et de son chemin direct. C'est la route la plus ancienne et la mieux établie du Kilimandjaro. C'est le seul itinéraire qui propose des cabanes de couchage de style dortoir. Les clients sont fournis avec des matelas et des oreillers, mais des sacs de couchage sont toujours nécessaires. Les huttes ont des salles à manger communes, des toilettes et des toilettes de base. La courte durée de l'itinéraire rend l'acclimatation à l'altitude assez difficile.
La route s'approche du mont Kilimandjaro par le sud-est. Marangu est malheureusement moins pittoresque que les autres itinéraires car la montée et la descente se font par le même chemin. C'est aussi l'itinéraire le plus fréquenté pour cette raison. KITANO TOURS AND SAFARIS CO L.T.D® propose l'ascension de la route Marangu pour cinq et six jours d'ascension. La différence étant que cinq jours de montée n'ont pas de jour d'acclimatation le troisième jour à Horombo Hut.
After breakfast, you will be collected from your lodge in Moshi and taken to the Marangu gate. Once the necessary paperwork has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of some primates as you head to the Mandara Hut. After a well-earned rest, your guide can take you to the Maundi Crater where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Kenyan interior.

The day begins with an early breakfast. Shortly after you have left Mandara Hut, you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone. Approximately 4 – 6 hours later, the Horombo Hut will come into sight, standing at an altitude of 3700m. From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo, and the wide plain of the Masai steppe.

Today’s stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the “Last Water point” which is followed by the so-called “saddle”. This nearly vegetation-less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi. Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut that is usually reached in about 5 - 6 hours. Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short.

Today is “The Big Day” - the summit stage. You will begin your final ascent around midnight which will be long and strenuous. Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5220m, the climb slowly but surely goes upwards. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5681m) – the crater rim of Kilimanjaro – where the sun will slowly start to warm up the land. You will have soon forgotten the cold of the night and after a further hike of 1 - 2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5895m. On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you followed by a 1 - 2 hour break before proceeding back down to Horombo Hut.

The last stage passes through the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2700m) where a warm lunch is waiting for you. Soon, you will once again pass the tropical rainforest and after a total time of 6 hours trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m). After saying goodbye to your mountain guides, a short transfer follows to take you back to your hotel in Moshi. Once there, you can take a warm and relaxing shower and celebrate your success in reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro.
