MARANGU TREK COSTS & ROUTE ITINERARY FOR KILIMANJARO
MARANGU ROUTE SUMMARY FOR YOUR CLIMB WITH UHURU TRAILS BY AFRICANMECCA
Initially at the birth of trekking to Uhuru summit, Marangu was the most popular route for climbing expeditions on Kilimanjaro but it has a high failure rate due to the rapidity with which altitude is gained. An extra acclimatization day, standard on Uhuru Trails by AfricanMecca tours, slightly reduces the incidence of Acute Mountain Sickness. We do not recommend this route unless you opt to choose it yourself or are fully acclimatized from an immediate Mount Meru hike.
