Nestled on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa’s highest and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain — you’ll find the beautiful family home - The Marangu Hotel. Set within lush gardens filled with vibrant trees and flowers, there are magnificent views of the mountain to enjoy every day.

Originally built as a farmhouse in the early 1900s, Marangu Hotel has grown into a welcoming guesthouse and one of the very first Kilimanjaro climbing organisers. For over 90 years, their focus has been simple: support the local community, operate responsibly and share the love of the mountain with every guest.

The team provides experienced, highly trained Kilimanjaro guides whose top priorities are clients' safety, well-being, and respect for the mountain. They use quality equipment and carry out thorough safety checks before and after every climb.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is on many people’s bucket lists! It is not a technical climb and is relatively accessible to people of all ages. Altitude is the largest challenge on the mountain. For many years, Kilimanjaro climbers have chosen Marangu Hotel as the base for their expeditions up the mountain. At Marangu Hotel one can be confident of an organization backed by over ninety years of experience, which equips and prepares mountaineers for all that they may encounter on their climb to the summit of Africa’s highest mountain.

 

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a life-changing experience, and the hotel and the climbing team would be honoured to help all guests achieve that dream.
