Marangu is the oldest established route and the only one offering hut accommodation instead of camping. It’s the shortest standard route, which also means less time to acclimatize — commonly recommended only for climbers extending to 6 days for a better success chance.
Day 1: Marangu Gate – Mandara Hut (rainforest). Day 2: Mandara Hut – Horombo Hut (moorland). Day 3: Horombo Hut (acclimatization day, recommended) or continue. Day 4: Horombo Hut – Kibo Hut. Day 5: Kibo Hut – Summit (Uhuru Peak) – Horombo Hut. Day 6: Horombo Hut – Marangu Gate, descent complete.
