Ben G., UK – 08 Jul Review – 6 Days Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climb

We chose the 6 Days Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climb for its reputation as the ‘Coca-Cola’ route and its reputation for potentially offering hut accommodation. While it was certainly a quicker trek, it was still a significant challenge. The value for money was definitely there; we felt we got a good package for the price. The guides were competent, though perhaps less personally engaged than I’ve heard from other routes. Summit night was tough, as expected. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly or faster ascent, this route is a viable option. We achieved our goal of reaching Uhuru Peak, which was the main objective.
