Where Do You Sleep During a Mount Kilimanjaro Climb?

One of the most frequently asked questions by trekkers is: Where do you sleep when climbing Mount Kilimanjaro? The answer depends on the route you choose! Whether you prefer camping under the stars or sleeping in mountain huts, Kilimanjaro offers different accommodation options tailored to your comfort and adventure style.

Camping on Kilimanjaro – Most Popular Option

If you choose one of the following camping routes, you will spend your nights in high-quality, all-weather tents set up at designated campsites along the mountain:

Machame Route – "Whiskey Route," scenic and popular
Lemosho Route – Best for acclimatization, stunning views
Rongai Route – Less crowded, approaches from the north
Northern Circuit Route – Longest and most scenic route
Umbwe Route – Short, steep, and challenging

What to Expect in the Campsites?

>Spacious, weatherproof tents set up and taken down by our team
>Thick sleeping mattresses for comfort
>Dining tents with tables and chairs for meals
>Incredible night skies with breathtaking views

Mountain Huts on the Marangu Route – Only Non-Camping Option

If you prefer not to sleep in tents, the Marangu Route (also called the "Coca-Cola Route") is the only Kilimanjaro route with permanent mountain huts. These huts offer:

>Dormitory-style bunk beds with mattresses and pillows
>Dining halls for meals and socializing
>Basic washroom facilities (some with running water)

Why Choose the Marangu Route?

>Ideal for first-time trekkers who prefer comfort
