About the Marangu Route
The Marangu Route is the only route on Kilimanjaro with permanent hut accommodation — making it popular with climbers who prefer sleeping in beds rather than tents. It's also the shortest commonly-attempted route, which unfortunately reduces acclimatisation time and success rates.
That said, Marangu remains a perfectly legitimate route with genuine charm — particularly the huts at Horombo and Kibo, where generations of climbers have attempted the summit.
