Mount Kili Climb Marangu Route 8 Days Affectionately known
as the "Coca-Cola route", Marangu is by far the most popular
route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a
result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive
route, but more so, perhaps the fact that it is possible to do
the Marangu route in 6 days, thereby getting to the summit one
day earlier than on the Machame route. Planning to Climb

Kilimanjaro Trekking Machame Route Sometimes called the
Whisky Route. This is a popular route up steep paths through
magnificent forests to gain a ridge leading through the moorland
zones to the Shira Plateau. It then traverses beneath the
glaciated precipices of the Southern Ice fields to join the
Barafu Route to the summit.
The Machame route is probably the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro. All
your equipment and supplies are portered and a cook prepares all
your meals. The Machame route offers strictly tents only This makes Machame
better suited to the slightly more adventurous hiker, however
rewarding him with a scenic splendor such as not seen on the
Marangu route. The Machame route is normally completed in a minimum of 6
days. There is an added benefit to this, as you are afforded the
most valuable commodity on the mountain - acclimatisation. The
Machame route takes you high to Lava Tower (4630m) on the day 3
and brings you down by nearly 700m for an overnight at Barranco
camp (3950m). This is the secret to successful acclimatisation.
