Package Overview

The Marangu Route is the oldest and most established route on Mount Kilimanjaro. It's known for its gradual slope and comfortable huts along the way, making it a favorite for many climbers. However, being the easiest route doesn't mean it's without challenges, and climbers still need to acclimatize properly and be prepared for the altitude.
