Kilimanjaro FAQ

The best times to climb Kilimanjaro are during the dry seasons: January to mid-March and June to October. These months offer clearer skies and lower precipitation.

While Kilimanjaro is accessible without technical climbing skills, physical fitness is essential. Engage in cardio, strength training, and hiking to prepare for the climb.

Essential items include thermal clothing, waterproof gear, hiking boots, a sleeping bag suitable for cold temperatures, a headlamp, and sun protection. Also, bring water purification tablets and a good quality backpack.

The climb typically takes 5 to 9 days, depending on the route and your pace. Longer itineraries allow better acclimatization and increase the chance of reaching the summit.

Climbing alone is not permitted; you must be accompanied by a registered and licensed guide. Most climbers join organized groups for better support and safety.

The major risks include altitude sickness, cold weather, and physical injuries. Proper acclimatization, adequate gear, and a sensible pace can mitigate most risks.

Description

Embarking on the Marangu Route, famously nicknamed the “Coca-Cola” route, presents climbers with a unique and relatively comfortable journey up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. As the oldest and most established path, it distinguishes itself with the convenience of hut accommodations along the way, offering a more communal and sheltered overnight experience compared to the camping routes. Ideal for those who prefer a bit more comfort on their ascent, the Marangu Route is often completed in 5 to 6 days, making it one of the quicker paths to the summit. Here’s a concise itinerary to guide you through this historic route.
