Kilimanjaro Marangu Route has the easiest route ascension profile, very gradual and steady. Marangu is often selected by unprepared or inexperienced climbers due to its reputation as an easy route.
This path provides trekkers with the classic Kilimanjaro climbing experience, offering sweeping views and a wonderful hiking adventure all the way to the summit of Uhuru Peak. That said, it also has some unique aspects that set it apart from any of the other routes as well, giving Marangu route a character and feeling that is entirely its own.
One of the more interesting aspects of Marangu Route is that it is the only route up Mount Kilimanjaro that doesn’t allow camping, so instead of sleeping in tents, trekkers stay in permanent huts instead.
An additional acclimatization day is the main itinerary difference between the 5 Days Marangu Route and Marangu Route 6 Days.
Suricata Safaris offer the affordable Marangu Route cost as a six-day group or private climb for starting at US$2,285 per person. This package fee includes six days on the mountain and one day on either side at our partner lodge in the town of Moshi. If you have any other questions about your trip we are happy to help you.
— Prepare a perfect playlist of your favorite songs to listen while climbing the summit.
— Try to stay positive even when the journey seems impossible as climbing can be physically and mentally challenging.
— Be sure to wear your hiking boots before your adventure to Kilimanjaro to avoid blisters.
— Be sure to pack a generous supply of wet wipes and be prepared not to shower for a week.
— To reduce the symptoms of altitude sickness, you must consume as much water as physically possible.
— You should also be mentally prepared for case of altitude sickness. Altitude sickness occurs on the third day of your hike; therefore, it is best to allow extra time in your itinerary where possible.
— We suggest you to add an extra night to your journey to reduce the impact of altitude sickness.
— Try to spend a few weekends camping to get familiar with using limited facilities so that it mentally prepares for the Kilimanjaro climbing and helps you overcome any small barriers you might encounter.
— The best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is from June to October.

We had a great experience with Suricata Safaris!! It was all very comfortable since they took care of all the transportation. As soon as we arrived, Hilary came to our accommodation to explain what our itinerary was going to be for the next few days. It is very expressive and pleasant. We started the safari with Frederic as our guide.
We are a group of six friends, we chose the 5-day safari with Suricata Safari on the recommendation of a friend who did the same last year, and of course it was a great choice. The route of the trip was Tarangire-Manyara-Serengeti-Ngorongoro. In short, an incredible experience, good value for money and above all a ten to Rocky. One hundred percent recommended!
We chose this company based on TripAdvisor reviews and we couldn't have made a better choice! From the first moment Hilary took great care of us, making sure that everything was perfect. The Florid guide is very attentive and he tried to make us see as many animals as possible; Chef Chaz cooks amazing!! Suricata Safaris is undoubtedly the best option!
We did a complete search and compared with many companies and Suricata seemed to us the best option, without a doubt a GREAT SUCCESS. We had Florid as a guide, who made an effort to find all the possible animals, apart from making us a super pleasant and fun stay.
