Zara Tours guides treks up the Marangu Route, which is the easiest and shortest route to Kilimanjaro's summit and is known as the "Coca Cola" or "tourist" route. This is the only route on Kilimanjaro with the comforts of solar-powered sleeping huts and comfortable beds at every camp. The huts are communal, and each bunk has a sponge mattress and pillow. Bathrooms and running water are available at the two lower huts. Basic men's and ladies' latrines are available at the last camp. All climbing groups, often from several countries around the world, share meals in dining huts providing a jovial and energetic atmosphere. Soft drinks, bottled water, and beer may be for sale at the huts. Bring small Tanzanian bills to purchase these items (prices increase with elevation). This route is usually done in 5 days, but you can do it in 6 days for better acclimatization. You can spend your extra day resting at Horombo or climbing to a basecamp below Kibo's sub peak Mawenzi.

After breakfast and a briefing from your guide, leave Moshi at 9 AM, drive for 45 minutes to the Marangu Gate on the eastern side of Kilimanjaro, register with the national park, and begin hiking at 10:30 AM. In the rainforest, look for towering Eucalyptus trees, bird life, and Colobus monkeys. At these lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy, so gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and t-shirts should be sufficient, but keep your rain gear and warmer clothing handy. Stop halfway for lunch, and reach the Mandara Huts at 2 or 3 PM. Unpack, rest, and have some tea or coffee. A 15-minute side trip to Maundi Crater is a good way to see the surroundings including Northern Tanzania and Kenya. Dinner is served during the early evening at 7 PM. Bathrooms with running water are available.

Wake to a 7:30 AM breakfast, and pack for your next trek. Break camp by 8:30 AM, hike for an hour through rainforest glades, then follow an ascending path through heathland where you can look for giant lobelias and groundsels. Continue up into open moorlands where small shrubs are the main vegetation. Stop halfway for lunch, where you can enjoy amazing views of Mawenzi. Arrive at the Horombo Huts by 3 PM, where you can see Kibo’s summit. Rest, unpack, and prepare for dinner. Bathrooms with running water are available. You may start to feel the effects of altitude here, and to aid your acclimatization, you can choose to spend an extra day resting at Horombo or climbing to a basecamp below Kibo’s sub peak Mawenzi.

Wake to breakfast as usual, but if you wake early you can get some great photos of the sunrise. The first part of the day’s hike climbs through the dwindling heathland that blends into a moonscape as you enter the sweeping saddle connecting Mawenzi and Kibo. When you stop for lunch, and later when you cross this surprisingly large saddle, you can examine the summit climb up Kibo that you will be starting in just a few hours. Be careful to notice any signs of altitude sickness. There is no running water at the Kibo Huts.

Mount Kilimanjaro
Wake at midnight to a light breakfast, then prepare for your summit ascent. The goal is to climb before dawn so that you can reach Uhuru Peak shortly after sunrise. Leave at 1 AM, switchback up steep scree or possibly snow, and reach Gilman’s Point on the crater rim at 5,861 m/18,640 ft between 5 and 7 AM. Here, views of the fabled crater and its icecaps greet you. Another 2 hours of hiking along the crater rim near the celebrated snows take you to Kilimanjaro’s true summit, Uhuru Peak, by 9 AM. This is Africa’s highest point, and you would have to travel more than 3,000 miles toward the Himalayas to find a higher peak! Be sure to have your picture taken at the summit to show your friends. After your summit stays, descend back to the Kibo Huts, have lunch, rest, collect your things, and recross the saddle to the Horombo Huts. Eat dinner and get some well-deserved sleep!

Wake, as usual, pack, and descend through the moorland to the Mandara Huts. Have lunch there then continue your triumphant recessional down through lush forest to the park gate, which you should reach around 2 or 3 PM. Remember to tip your guides, cooks, and porters, since you will be leaving them here. A vehicle will take you back to the Springlands Hotel in Moshi, where it is definitely time for celebration! Depart for the airport or other destinations in Tanzania or Kenya. A trip to the beaches at Zanzibar is a good way to recuperate. We can arrange many reasonably priced trips and safaris around Moshi and the Kilimanjaro region.

4.00I was very happy to go on the tour with Zara and received excellent support throughout the entire trip. I can truly recommend Zara for any tour. The only criticism I would make concerns the infrastructure in the national parks. None of the accommodations are equipped with heating, and there is no common heated room in any of the huts to warm up after the day’s hike. This can be very challenging, as it gets extremely cold in the mountains, especially at night. This was particularly noticeable during the final part of the tour while climbing Kilimanjaro, where there was no place to warm up before and after returning to the hut. Regarding the huts, the toilets are very basic throughout the route, which I understand and accept. However, they could be kept cleaner, especially at Kibo Hut, where the conditions were the worst during the tour.
I can only recommend this trip !

A Dream Coming True with Zara Tours

5.00Kilimanjaro has been always a dream and now it became true! I was referred to Zara Tours and Charles in particular by my husband who did Kilimanjaro with 2 yrs ago amd couldn't trust to send me alone with any company except Zara. Charles explained to me everything from day one and on a daily basis he used to brief me about the day ahead. He really applied the pole pole with me :). He was very knowledgeable and knew his job very well as a professional guide. He had an issue with my food because I dont eat but he used to make sure that I eat! On the Summit night Charles and Dawoodi went with me. There are literally no enough words to be written about them! They were very motivating, encouraging and kind. For a time that I almost gave up, they did not allow me and pushed me to go until I made it! They both kept reminding me to make my dream comw true and it did. They were very cautios about my health and although i was very tired, they kept reminding me to stay alert!! I am very thankful and appreciative to both of them amd to their genuine smile and humble attitude! Every morning the hot water was ready to wash up, the food was very delicious and amazingly hot even in cold weather! The amazing service. Thank you Zara Tours for the very well arranged trip starting from easily finding my pick up, convenient hotel and clean food amd water in the hotel and up in the mountain!

Marango route

4.00My 1st climbing trip so no previous ones to compare with, but everything was to my liking from pick up at Kilimanjaro airport to drop off. The Marango route is fantastic, the stops on the way up well planned. The top climb, however, quite demanding, but with proper preparation absolutely not impossible. Zara tours is a very good organizer, what would have been better would have been information about informed tips and expected tips that created disappointment. And a promised tree planting the last day that was cancelled last minute due to some incomprehensible reason. Will definitely want to travel with Zara tours in the future, but at the same time will want clearer information.
