Private Tour
Kilimanjaro Climb - 6 Days Marangu Route
Overview
Available languages
144 hours
Mobile ticket
Marangu Route, commonly known as Coca Cola route is more popular because it can be done in fewer days and has permanent sleep huts at the campsites.
Summit night from Kibo Hut is steep and passes Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak. It is a shorter route with a steeper incline and less time for acclimatization it tends to have a lower summit success rate. This is the only route where the ascent and descent route is the same, thus creating more traffic. Marangu remain the best route for those who have limited time for Kilimanjaro climbing adventures.
Upon arrival to Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met and transferred for overnight accommodation at your hotel. Your head guide will meet you for the short briefing about Mount Kilimanjaro and Marangu route, gear check and arrange for you to hire any equipment you may need.

Incredible experiences

5.00Octavian, the key person for Incredible Adventures, is a great guy. He anticipated our needs and customised the adventure to our needs. The selection of team members to support our journey was very well done. The guides were great, both Rafael and Gasper, helping to ensure that we enjoyed Incredible food, Incredible views and essentially, and Incredible and memorable experience. What is significant and heartwarming was that Octavian was ready and willing to go beyond the call of duty to ensure a wonderful experience for us. Coming back in near future for another experience with this outfit.
Best experience of my life

5.00The experience here was invaluable! The guides were cheerful and made the climb fun! It was my first time climbing a mountain over 4000m, but thanks to the porters' perfect preparation, I was able to reach the summit! I'm very surprised that even a beginner like me was able to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the continent! If I have the chance again, I'd like to do it with the same company and the same members! This experience made us more than just friends! I passed by guides from various companies on the way, but this company was definitely the most cheerful and fun! I recommend it!

5.00The experience there was the best of my life. I love the guides here. It's not an easy climb, but the staff will give you their full support so you can climb with confidence. At the end of the mountain you will find irreplaceable memories.

5.00We enjoyed a most memorable experience, largely the efforts by Octavaian and his team. Our trek guides, (Alex, Rafael and Manme) were professional, very caring and well able to anticipate our needs. Special mention must go to 'King', the chef and his kitchen team for keeping us well fed throughout our adventure Thank you
Mt Meru

5.00We had an amazing 4 days hiking trip to the top of beautiful Mt Meru. Our Guide Nelson and the team took good care of us and each other. Together we had a lot of fun and all staff members are passion about their jobs. Nelson is so down to earth and he made us feel very safe on the whole trip. Climbing Mt Meru is a group effort and I couldn't be more grateful for such an amazing experience with this group. Asante Sana!
Highly recommended safari company
