Marangu Kilimanjaro Route is also known as the “Coca-Cola” route.  This is the most popular route on Kilimanjaro. It is the only route where overnight stays are in huts. This makes Marangu a good option for hiking during the rainy season.

The route takes its start at the south-east of Mt Kilimanjaro. The entrance to the route is through Marangu Gate.
