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.

I recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours, and it was an incredible experience.
The guides were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about helping each climber reach the summit. Whether we needed assistance with our bags or emotional support when we were feeling like giving up.
The porters and entire crew were hardworking, ensuring we were comfortable and well-fed at each camp. The food was surprisingly good and varied, they catered for all our needs, whether we were vegan or had any other dietry requirements, they provided us with exceptional service, considering the altitude and conditions!
Zara Tours also emphasized safety, checking oxygen levels and heartrate daily and adjusting pace as needed. We went "pole pole" which means slowly all the way, which ensured that our whole group reached the summit. We even learned a few Swahili words.
The entire trek was well-organized, and I felt in good hands from start to finish. For anyone considering Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend Zara Tours.
