Tour Overview
The Marangu route stands out as a favored choice among climbers, renowned for its affordability and convenience. Offering mountain huts instead of tents for accommodation, it presents a unique comfort for trekkers. This route presents a direct ascent to the summit and follows the same path on the descent. However, it’s worth noting that altitude changes are considerable each day, making it best suited for seasoned climbers.
With a standard duration of five days for the ascent, it’s advisable to extend your journey by an additional day for optimal acclimatization. By spending an extra night at the Horombo huts on the fourth day and embarking on an acclimatization hike, you provide your body with crucial adjustment time to the high altitude. This strategic addition significantly enhances your chances of successfully reaching the summit, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable trekking experience.
