Itinerary description
|
The Marangu route is the route that leads to the summit of Kilimanjaro which is usually done in five days on an equal route for the outward and return journeys.
Compared to the other routes, this one has shelters where you can sleep in beautiful wooden huts which generally have four beds, a table and electricity sockets.
The toilets are outside in a separate building on the pitch.
This is stage number 2 from Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut.
Leaving the forest, you go up gradually in the middle of the vegetation which becomes more and more sparse.
You can see patches of tree heath and hypericum, grasses and many varieties of helichrysum. The giant senecio of Kilimanjaro (Dendrosenecio kilimanjari) is one of the most beautiful and particular. This flowering plant has long trunks that reach 10 meters in height.
Along the way you will meet many white-necked crows.
You can make several stops in equipped areas and after about 6 hours you will arrive at the most beautiful field of this route where you can admire a beautiful sunset.
Here we are already at a high altitude and it is starting to feel cold.
Km: about 12
Travel time: about 5 hours and 30 excluding stops
