Reisroute
De Marangu route staat bekend als de "Coca-Cola" route en is een klassieke trektocht op de Kilimanjaro. Het is de oudste, meest bekende route. Velen geven de voorkeur aan de Marangu route omdat het gezien de geleidelijke helling als het gemakkelijkste pad op de berg wordt beschouwd. Het is ook de enige route met slaaphutten in slaapstijl. Voor deze route zijn minimaal vijf dagen nodig, hoewel de kans dat je in die tijd de top haalt vrij klein is. Het wordt sterk aanbevolen om een extra acclimatisatiedag op de berg door te brengen als je de Kilimanjaro beklimt via de Marangu route. Ondanks zijn immense populariteit vermijden wij het leiden van beklimmingen op de Marangu route. De route heeft de minste landschappelijke variatie van alle routes omdat de beklimming en afdaling op hetzelfde pad plaatsvinden en het is om die reden de drukste route. Marangu is alleen populair in het regenseizoen, wanneer de hutaccommodaties de voorkeur genieten.
Reisprogramma
Aankomen in Tanzania
Startpunt
Marangu Gate, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
08:20 - 23:25
Marangu Poort naar Mandara Hut
After breakfast, you will be collected from your lodge in Moshi and taken to the Marangu gate. Once the necessary paper work has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of some primates as you head to the Mandara Hut. After a well-earned rest, your guide can take you to the Maundi Crater where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Kenyan interior.
Mandara hut naar Horombo hut
The day begins with an early breakfast. Shortly after you have left Mandara Hut, you will reach the timberline and then enter the heath and moor zone. Approximately 4 – 6 hours later, the Horombo Hut will come into sight, standing at an altitude of 3700m. From the hut, you will have fantastic views overlooking Mawenzi, Kibo and the wide plain of the Masai steppe.
Horombo hut naar Kibo hut
Today’s stage is long and tough. The well-built trail passes the “Last Water point” which is followed by the so-called “saddle”. This nearly vegetation less plateau joins the main summit Kibo with Mawenzi. Today’s destination is the Kibo Hut that is usually reached in about 5 – 6 hours. Here, you will enjoy an early evening meal followed by an early night, as the night will be short.
Kibo Hut naar UHURU PEAK & omlaag naar Horombo Hu
Today is “The Big Day” – the summit stage. You will begin your final ascent around midnight which will be long and strenuous. Passing the Hans Meyer Cave at 5220m, the climb slowly but surely goes upwards. At sunrise, you will reach Gillman’s Point (5681m) – the crater rim of Kilimanjaro – where the sun will slowly start to warm up the land. You will have soon forgotten the cold of the night and after a further hike of 1 – 2 hours, you will reach Uhuru Peak at 5895m. On your return to Kibo Hut, a warm meal awaits you followed by a 1 – 2 hour break before proceeding back down to Horombo Hut.
Horombo Hut naar Marangu Gate
The last stage passes through the heath and moor zone to the Mandara Hut (2700m) where a warm lunch is waiting for you. Soon, you will once again pass the tropical rainforest and after a total time of 6 hours trekking, you will be back at the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m). After saying goodbye to your mountain guides, a short transfer follows to take you back to your hotel in Moshi. Once there, you can take a warm and relaxing shower and celebrate your success in reaching the summit of the Kilimanjaro.
