Trekking in Tanzania

This is one of the "easiest" and most popular Kilimanjaro Climbs and is perfect for novice hikers, it is also known as the "Coca Cola route". The route starts at Marangu Gate, passing through tropical rain forest to the Mandara Hut, which is located close to the Maundi Crater. From here onwards the landscape changes to rolling alpine meadows and giant heather trees and the altitude is felt at Horombo Hut. After Horombo the landscape becomes more rocky and rugged and you will see giant groundsels in lobelias in the spare moor. The paths will skirt Mawenzi and cross the saddle desert before reaching Kibo Hut. The final ascent is definitely the most difficult and tiring part and it can take up to five hours to summit Gillman's Point. The highest point is in fact Uhuru Peak, which is another two-hour walk further. Luckily the descent is much less tiring!
