Mount Kilimanjaro hut Marangu route trek and also, Mount Meru climbing journey

 

Marangu route is the only hut Kilimanjaro route for ascening up! Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller used the Marangu route to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in 1889, which fortunately became the first successful summit to Kibo peak. KIbo peak reaches 5895 m above sea level. Other Kilimanjaro peaks are Mawenzi 5149 m and Shira. Mawenzi peak has less height than Kibo, but Mawenzi has rugged volcano rocks, therefore difficult to reach. Technical mountaineering equipment and a really mountaineer guide to reach the Mawenzi Hans Meyer peak. 

Therefore, the Marangu route was the right choice for the summit hike attempt. Then more Kilimanjaro trails were found and tested, and established for safe Kilimanjaro expeditions. After that, it was established that the Marangu route has gentle terrain, hiking up because altitude is not sharply increasing. 

Furthermore, climbers in the Marangu route  sleep in more comfortable Mountain huts that prevent you from Wind and rain. These are dormitory style Mountain huts, with each cottage sleeping 4 people. Recently, mount Kilimanjaro national Park authority developed VIP cottages for Kilimanjaro trekkers.

Marangu route 5 days and 6 days Kilimanjaro packages depend on the hiking experience of the climbers. For beginner climbers, we recommend the 6 days Marangu route Kili tour package.  So it is important to acclimatize, avoid ascending up too quickly, and then reduce risk of altitude sickness. However, those people who get chance for outdoor hiking in their lifestyle, then Marangu route 5 days is fine to choose. 

 Also, Mount Kilimanjaro climb is a mountain trip with better experience. Another benefits of Marangu 6 days trip is a chance to visit Zebra volcano crater, and restwell before summit push from Kibo huts. Sometimes, first-time hikers begin volcano discovery tours from Mount Meru 4 days climbing. This is a hut to hut mountain climbing and offers the best volcano mountain climbing journey.
