6 Days Marangu Route Climbing
Description
Known as the “Coca-Cola” route, the Marangu route is a classic trek on Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the oldest, most well established route. Many favour the Marangu route because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, due to its more gradual slope. It is also the only route which offers sleeping huts with dormitory style accommodation. There are 60 bunk beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts, and 120 bunk beds at Horombo Hut. Guests are supplied with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bags are still required. The huts have communal dining halls and basic washrooms, ranging from flushing toilets and running water at the lower huts to long drop toilets and buckets of water at Kibo Hut.

TJT gave my daughter and I a great experience climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in 6 days. Our guides Ringo & Eden kept us on track and ensured we summited safely. Everything was well organized. The team of porters were a cheerful group of lads doing all the heavy work which was greatly appreciated. Thanks also to Peter and Arthur we weren't short for good meals every day.
My team were 6-persons who had experience in doing the climbing with them, it was good. Assistance guides was controlling his paths for us to follow. The Real Pole-Pole was happening for our team to do. This strategy could be the Winner Strategy for us to reach the Summit of Uhuru Peak. The most important for us was during our trek toward Summit, each ones of us did not carry any Day-pack, instead was assisted by assistance guide n portals. Even though no Day-pack, we felt so hard for us to move up n up. Only Patient that gave us the strength to move forward step-by-step. This trip was the first times for us to visit Africa and Foods was really Challenging for us. We have rice every day back home, like wise, For lunch, we had only Lunch Box so little Carbohydrate Loading as we used to have n dinner serves with soup n little protein n little Carbohydrate. The supporting team that was given by Tanzania Joy Tours for our team (6-persons) consisted of: 1-Guide; 2-Assistance Guide, 1-Chef n 22-Porters. We were wondering why so many supporting teams to join our trip. We had different experience with our trips in Nepal whereas every huts owned by a family who provide their services to serve breakfast or lunch or dinner. Anyway, Over all, we were satisfied with the assistance given by Tanzania Joy Tour - Mr. Emmanuel. Big Thank you. Regards///Simba as a Babu.
We spent 6 days on the Kilimanjaro (Marangu Route) with Tanzania Joy Tours and we could not be more satisfied with all what they did for us during this wonderful experience ! First, the communication by email was quick and very clear, Emmanuel was very helpful. Then, the crew we had for our ascension was incredible : 2 amazing guides, very skilled and ready to help anytime, 1 excellent cook, and 6 porters, who were always there when we needed anything. We loved the atmosphere created by the crew during the week : the smiles, the encouragements, the laughs, the great discussions, the little kind attentions, it played a great part in the experience. It is unforgettable… The ascension was perfectly organized, and this is mainly thanks to this team and to the guides’ advice that we managed to go to the top ! We could not recommend more Tanzania Joy Tours :) Thank you for everything !
