6-Day Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climb
Marangu is the only main route using huts throughout the climb. The six-day schedule includes an acclimatization outing from Horombo Hut and is more sensible than the compressed five-day version.
The ascent and descent use the same trail, making logistics straightforward. Huts are shared and simple rather than hotel-style.
