For many years Marangu used to be the most popular Kilimanjaro route. It has now been delegated to number two by the Machame route (see below).
Duration: 5 days, acclimatization day can be added
Advantages:
Low cost.
Accommodation is in huts, no camping equipment needed.
Supposedly the easiest route. (I beg to differ.)
Disadvantages:
Lowest success rate. (See? Not that easy after all!)
Very crowded.
Camping is not allowed.
The only route that uses the same way up and down.
