Standing tall as Earth’s most magnificent free-standing mountain
My adventure began in the charming Tanzanian town of Moshi, where I signed up for this epic challenge. With budget options starting around $1,200, I opted for the thrilling Marangu route – known as the “Coca-Cola” trail for its shorter duration but demanding climb. Over five unforgettable days, we conquered staggering 4,000+ meter elevation gains and trekked through 60+ kilometers of breathtaking landscapes.
