A Journey to the Top: Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Mangokili Adventures

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an incredible journey that requires perseverance, physical endurance, and a sense of adventure. It's not just a physical challenge but also a mental one, as climbers must battle the altitude and the unpredictable weather conditions. I had the opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Mango Kilimanjaro Adventures, and it was an experience of a lifetime. Mangokili Adventures is a reputable tour company that specializes in Kilimanjaro climbs, safaris, and cultural tours. They offer a variety of packages for climbers of all levels, including the Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, and Rongai routes. I chose to climb via the Machame route, which is known for its stunning scenery and high success rate.

The climb began with a long drive from Moshi to the Machame gate, where we registered with the Kilimanjaro National Park authorities. From there, we started our trek through the dense rainforest, accompanied by our experienced guide, porters, and cook. The first day was relatively easy, with a gentle uphill climb that allowed us to acclimatize to the altitude. The second day was more challenging as we made our way through the heather and moorland zone, with steep uphill climbs and rocky terrain. The views were breathtaking, with the clouds rolling in and out, and the vegetation changing as we ascended higher. We arrived at the Shira campsite in the late afternoon, exhausted but exhilarated by the day's journey.

The third day was another tough one, as we hiked through the alpine desert zone, with sparse vegetation and rugged terrain. We reached the Lava Tower, a towering rock formation at an altitude of 4,600 meters, where we had lunch and rested for a while. This was a crucial point in the climb, as it allowed us to acclimatize to the altitude and prepare for the next stage. The fourth day was the highlight of the climb, as we made our way to the Barafu campsite, the starting point for the final ascent to Uhuru Peak. We arrived at Barafu in the early afternoon, and our guide briefed us on the climb ahead. We rested for a few hours before setting off at midnight, equipped with headlamps and warm clothing.

The final ascent was grueling, with steep uphill climbs, rocky terrain, and freezing temperatures. We pushed ourselves to the limit, taking frequent breaks to catch our breath and refuel with energy bars and hot drinks. As we approached the summit, we could see the first rays of sunlight peeking over the horizon, and our spirits lifted. Finally, we reached Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, at an altitude of 5,895 meters. It was an emotional moment, as we hugged each other and took in the stunning views of the surrounding glaciers and mountains. We had accomplished what seemed impossible just a few days earlier, and it was an experience we would never forget.

Overall, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Mangokili Adventures was a challenging but rewarding journey. The company provided excellent support throughout the climb, with knowledgeable guides, friendly porters, and delicious meals. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

5 DAYS MARANGU ROUTE

5 DAYS MARANGU ROUTE

The Marangu Route is the oldest and best established hiking route on Kilimanjaro and remains extremely popular, although there are a variety of other options.

This trail offers hikers the classic experience of climbing Kilimanjaro, with panoramic views and a wonderful hiking adventure to the top of Uhuru Peak. However, it also has some unique aspects that set it apart from all other routes and give Route Marangu a character and feel all of its own.5 DAYS MARANGU

OVERVIEW

The 5 days Kilimanjarotrekking Marangu route itinerary is quite easy despite its difficulty in the last part up to the summit. The route, dubbed the easier route, has encountered a higher failure rate due to poor preparation and wrong attempts. The above situations have prompted KINAPA officials to take more vigor and serious action for those climbing Kilimanjaro on the Marangu route. All campsites along this route have good radio contact with the park office. Some products such as mineral water, soft drinks, beer and chocolate are available in these camps. 5 DAYS MARANGU

Maranguroute can be trekked in 5 days, but an extra day for acclimatization at Horombo Camp is recommended. Marangu is the only route on this mountain that offers hut accommodation on beds and mattresses. The route can also be covered in 6 days or more. 6 days, that is 1 day for acclimatization in the almost 96 km long Horombo Hut. If you wish, you can combine a short safari in Tanzania or a beach holiday in Zanzibar with your Kilimanjaro hike.

Marangu route starting point

One of the most interesting aspects of the Marangu Trail is that it is the only route to Kilimanjaro where camping is not allowed, so hikers do not sleep in tents but stay in permanent huts.

span>

These dormitory-style shelters offer extra shelter from the wind and rain, making this route popular with climbing travelers during the rainy season presented in April and May . There are 60 bunk beds each in Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 bunk beds in Horombo Hut

While staying in these huts, hikers sleep in bunk beds, which are fitted with a simple mattress and Pillow. . You can also buy various chocolate bars, mineral water and soft drinks, which is why the Marangu Route is often referred to as the "Coca-Cola Route".

MaranguRoute offers a slow, steady climb to each of the daily campsites, which has earned it a reputation as an easy hike. However, do not underestimate this trail, because on this day alone the journey to the final camp with an altitude difference of approx. 1000 meters can be physically demanding.

Of course on The day of the summit ascent of Kilimanjaro is always a challenge no matter how you approach it, making the final steps to the summit all the more satisfying.

Because it is one of the shortest hikes to the summit, taking only five days to reach Uhuru Peak : The Marangu route is very popular with hikers who have limited time to climb.

The downside to this is that it doesn't offer as much opportunity for acclimatization to altitude.

For this reason, the Marangu route has the highest failure rate of all routes to MountKilimanjaro. Keep this in mind if you choose this option for your Kilimanjaro trek.

The MaranguRoute is also the only route that uses the same path for both ascent and descent. This means that while the trail isscenic, hikers will experience the same places climbing aslet them come down again. And with traffic going both ways, Marangu can also get crowded at times.

For a classic Kilimanjaro experience, however, this tried and tested route to the roof of Africa is hard to beat.

ClimbingKilimanjaro Marangu offers as a private five or six day climb.

The five-day option has no acclimatization day at Horombo Hut on the third day.

How Difficult is the Marangu Route?

Many inexperienced hikers attempt this route every year as it offers comfortable cabin accommodation, unlike other routes that require you to sleep in mountain tents. Many people confirm that this route is less difficult compared to other hikes to the top of Kilimanjaro. It's a common misconception that trekkers find a 5-day trek easier than a 6-day trek. However, the 5 day options can be very difficult as they don't allow much time to acclimate to the altitude. The 6-day option is much easier, but still requires a good level of fitness.

What is the distance of the Marangu Route and how many days does it take to complete?

The exact distance on the Marangu route is 82 km or 50 miles. The shortest number of days for the Marangu route is 5 days, but when counting arrival and departure days it is 9-10 days. As the Marangu Route is the shortest route on the mountain, it is better to complete the journey over 6 days to increase the chances of success.

What is the Maragu Route Summit Success Rate?

As one of the shortest routes on the mountain, the Marangu route has the lowest summit success rates. This is mainly due to the unprofessional local guides who take groups up the mountain on the shorter 5 day trek. That's why the average 5-day success rate is 50%! We advise our hikers to keep this in mind, that's why we only chose the 6-day option, which increases the success rate to over 90%!

What scenery will I see on the Marangu Route?

The Marangu route climbs through rainforest, moorland and alpine areas before ending in the glacial zone. This hike is very beautiful and it is the only route that allows you to go down the same way you went up.

What is the best time to journey through the Marangu Route?

July to September is the best time to climb Kilimanjaro. The weather is more stable during this period and it rains less often. Due to its proximity to the equator, the mountain can be climbed at any time of the year. Be careful, April and May are the rainiest months, so it is better to avoid this period.

Water On Kilimanjaro 

 Water is critical on the mountain. On day one you will be given 2-3 liters from your guide. During the climb porters will be collecting water to replenish supplies. You should aim to drink at least 3 liters of water a day. Dehydration is a key cause of AMS so make sure you remain hydrated. You can add an energy supplement to your water to make it more palatable. You must add water purification tablets to your water.
