About 6 days Marangu route Kilimanjaro climbing tour package
6 days Marangu route Kilimanjaro climbing tour package is the best Kilimanjaro tour package which involves 6 days of trekking and 5 nights with additional acclimatization day at Horombo hut on day four. The main itinerary difference between the Marangu 5 days and 6 days routes is the additional acclimatization day at Horombo Hut
The Marangu Route is the oldest on Kilimanjaro and is also one of the most popular – mainly because it is the only route on the mountain that has huts provided for hikers. 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 5 days, thereby getting to the summit one day earlier compared to the Machame route.
