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.

The female owned outfitter is a major contributor to the business of Mt Kili and Serengeti destinations. She is astute and well versed in the region. Very helpful and her people are well versed on additional things to do as one gets acclimated before and after My Kili climbs

My wife, three friends, and I embarked on a 7-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Machame route with Zara Tours, based in Moshi, Tanzania. Our guide, Ambrose, along with his team of porters and cooks, were incredible. Thanks to Ambrose's years of experience and the pace he set, we successfully reached the summit. Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, and we were provided with hot water for washing each morning and night, as well as our own private bathroom and dining tent. I highly recommend them to anyone.
