The Marangu route, also known as the "Coca-Cola" route, is the oldest, most well-established route on Kilimanjaro. This is the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style accommodations in lieu of camping. There are 60 bunk beds each at Mandara and Kibo Huts, and 120 bunk beds at Horombo Hut. Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls and basic washrooms, ranging from flushing toilets and running water at the lower huts to long drop toilets and buckets of water at Kibo Hut. Many favor Marangu because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path. However, the short time frame of the route makes Altitude Acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast. Marangu is unfortunately less scenic than the other routes because the ascent and descent are along the same path. It is also the most crowded route for that reason. 

Day 1: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut Elevation (ft): 6,046 ft to 8,858 ft Distance: 8 km Hiking Time: 4-5 hours Habitat: Rain Forest Hut: Mandara Hut. We head to the Marangu Gate for the necessary formalities before beginning our trek. The trail climbs through a tropical rain forest near the upper edge of the forest line, where we sometimes see playful blue monkeys. The trail then widens to expose beautiful hillsides until we reach Mandara Hut.

Day 2: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut Elevation (ft): 8,858 ft to 12,205 ft Distance: 12 km Hiking Time: 6-8 hours Habitat: Heath / Moorland Our second day on the trail starts up with a steep ascent through the forest and opens into high moorland. If the sky is clear, we might get our first views of Kibo and Mawenzi Peaks. Those two volcanic peaks  make up the summit of Kilimanjaro.

Day 3: Horombo Hut to Mawenzi Hut to Horombo Hut Elevation (ft): 12,205 ft to 14,160 ft to 12,205 ft Distance: 10 km Hiking Time: 3-5 hours Habitat: Heath This extra day is used for Adaptation. We hike towards or all the way to Mawenzi Hut and back. The unique landscape offers motivating views of Kibo and Mawenzi.

Day 4: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut Elevation (ft): 12,205 ft to 15,430 ft Distance: 10 km Hiking Time: 6-8 hours Habitat: Alpine Desert On this day we climb gently, then cross the lunar desert of the “Saddle” between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach our campsite, which sits at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall. Once at Camp, we rest and enjoying an early dinner and prepare for summit day.

Day 5: Kibo Hut to Uhuru Point to Horombo Hut Elevation (ft): 15,430 ft to 19,341 ft to 12,205 ft Distance: 22 km Hiking Time: 10-13 hours Habitat: Arctic We wake up in the middle of the night and begin the final push to reach the Roof of Africa. The trail to Gilman’s Point is very steep, and the ascent will be slow and steady. From Gilman’s, it is a traverse along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak. We stay at the summit for a short time, to take photos and enjoy the views, before retracing our steps all the way back to Horombo Hut.

Day 6: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate Elevation (ft): 12,205 ft to 6,046 ft Distance: 20 km Hiking Time: 5-7 hours Habitat: Rain Forest A long trek is in store for today, however it is mostly downhill. Once we reach the park headquarters, there at Marangu Gate, we pick up our certificate, that proves our achievement, and catch our vehicle transfer to the Hotel in Moshi.

Alone at Altitude: A Solo Expedition to Kilimanjaro's Summit

Many travellers are drawn to the challenge of Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing. Just because you’re traveling to Tanzania alone doesn’t mean you have to climb Kilimanjaro alone. Recent trends have shown that the number of Kilimanjaro Solo Travellers has increased nowadays.

Our Solo Traveller's Guide is designed to assist Kilimanjaro Solo Climbers in navigating this requirement, ensuring a safe and memorable Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing. Whether you're a seasoned climber or a first-timer, this guide simplifies the journey.

Comprehensive Planning Guide For Kilimanjaro Solo Travellers

Climbing Kilimanjaro requires careful planning, especially if you are doing it alone. The following are some essential factors that Kilimanjaro Solo Travellers need to consider

Fitness Level

Climbing Kilimanjaro is like running a long race at high altitudes. Train your legs with hikes, build endurance with jogging or cycling, and improve lung strength with aerobic workouts. Start training early and try group hikes for practice.

Weather Conditions

Kilimanjaro has both hot and cold climates. Expect warm days at the base and cold nights higher up. Use moisture-wicking clothes, a warm jacket, and waterproof layers for comfort.

Equipment

Good gear is vital. Choose robust and well-fitted hiking boots, layered clothing for varying temperatures, and lightweight trekking poles. Check Kilimanjaro Gear List from experienced climbers to ensure you pack right.

Acclimatization

Kilimanjaro Altitude Sickness is a risk above 2,500 meters, and Kilimanjaro's peak is 5,895 meters. Spend extra days adjusting to higher altitudes, choose slower ascent routes, and be aware of symptoms like headaches and nausea.

Permits

All climbers need a Kilimanjaro National Park Authority (KINAPA) permit. It's essential to get this permit in advance. A trusted agency like us can make this process smoother, especially during the busy climbing seasons.

Essentials Documents For Kilimanjaro Solo Travellers

Kilimanjaro Solo Travellers must have the following documents before embarking on Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing.

Passport

A valid passport is required to enter Tanzania at least six months before expiration.

Visa

A tourist visa is required to enter Tanzania. You can obtain it at the airport upon arrival or from the Tanzanian embassy in your home country.

Travel Insurance

It's highly recommended to have Kilimanjaro Travel Insurance that covers medical expenses and emergency evacuation in case of an accident or illness during the climb.

Kilimanjaro Trekking Permit

You'll need a trekking permit to Climb Kilimanjaro, which can be obtained through a licensed tour operator.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate

If you're arriving from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission, you'll need a yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter Tanzania.

Medical History Form

Your Kilimanjaro Tour Operator may require you to complete a medical history form to ensure you're physically fit enough to climb Kilimanjaro.

The Right Route For Kilimanjaro Solo Travellers

There are several Routes Up Kilimanjaro, each with advantages and disadvantages. Some Kilimanjaro Routes are more popular than others and tend to be more crowded, while others are less travelled and require more technical skills. Choosing a way that matches your fitness level, experience, and expectations is essential.

The Marangu Route is the most popular and most accessible route to climb, making it a popular choice for Solo Travelers in Kilimanjaro.

the Machame Route, also known as the Whiskey route, is more challenging but offers more scenic views and a more remote experience.

The Lemosho Route is also a great option, as it balances challenge and solitude.

Solo Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing is a challenging but achievable goal for experienced hikers with the proper preparation and equipment. Planning, staying safe, and being aware of the potential risks is essential.With determination and perseverance, the summit's incredible views and sense of accomplishment make the journey worth it for Kilimanjaro Solo Travelers.
