This seven-day trek takes you up Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route, the most direct line to the 5,895m summit. It's often called the Coca-Cola Route for its popularity, and it's the one trail on the mountain where you sleep in mountain huts rather than tents each night.

You'll move through forest, moorland, and the high-altitude desert known as the Saddle on your way to Kibo Hut before the final push. It's the fastest way up, which keeps costs down, but the quick ascent gives your body less time to adjust to altitude.

Local guides, cooks, and porters are with you throughout, handling the logistics so you can focus on the walk and the climb itself.
