The 5-day Marangu Route on Mount Kilimanjaro offers a relatively straightforward ascent with hut accommodations. Starting at Marangu Gate, you trek through lush rainforest to Mandara Hut, then move through moorland to Horombo Hut. On day 3, ascend to Kibo Hut in the alpine desert, preparing for the summit push. On day 4, depart early to reach Uhuru Peak at sunrise, then descend to Horombo Hut. On the final day, descend back to Marangu Gate. This route is popular for its ease of access and scenic variety.
