Private Tour
Tanzania,
Description
Sometimes known as the ‘Coca Cola’ route, because it is the most popular route up the mountain, the Marangu Route is in fact followed by ninety percent of all climbers. It has a well defined path, which has been well set out and where most obstacles have been modified to make them ‘climber friendly’. Accommodation on this route is in purpose built mountain huts providing adequate shelter and even bottled water, beer and soft drinks (at high altitude prices!).
