"Horombo Hut (3720m)"
Discover Horombo Hut (3720m)
Horombo Hut (3,720m) is the second overnight stop on the Marangu Route, reached after a 6-7 hour trek from Mandara Hut that takes climbers out of the rainforest and into the open, rolling moorland zone dotted with giant lobelias and heather. Perched on a scenic ridge with sweeping views of Kibo's summit and, on clear days, Mawenzi's jagged peaks, Horombo offers a striking change in scenery along with noticeably cooler temperatures and thinner air. As one of the larger camps on the mountain, complete with hut accommodations, Horombo also serves as a key acclimatization stop, with many itineraries including an extra night here for a day hike to Zebra Rocks, helping climbers adjust before the demanding push toward Kibo Hut and the summit.

5-Days Climbing Marangu Route
Marangu Route, or “Coca-Cola” route, is the most thronged of the available routes on Kilimanjaro today. This makes it ideal for hiking in the rainy season because it is the only route where overnight stays are in huts. An overused path through all the climate zones, it goes from tropical rainforest to eternal ice. Then, of course, it will present you with beautiful African scenery. This is the most popular and cheapest route for climbing Kilimanjaro; hence, it can be crowded at times between July and September, and December and March. The 6-day option is highly recommended because it gives better acclimatization compared to the 6-day. 6-day climbing Marangu Route programs are available, so you can choose depending on the amount of time at your disposal. Longer programs are always recommended over shorter ones for better acclimatization. Arrive in Tanzania. Meals: Breakfast and dinner included.

9 Day’ Mt Kilimanjaro, Safari and Gorilla in Uganda
Marangu Route has been referred to as the 'Coca-Cola’ route, leading potential climbers to think it is an easy route to the summit. This is far from the truth, to be honest! The fact that it requires a minimum of 5 days to complete does not mean it is easier than any other route. The trail goes through the lush rain forest, moorland to the alpine desert, and ultimately the arctic zone at the peak and the same route down. This safari is a great chance for you who is up for a Kilimanjaro adventure! Best of Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater (4days)
