Safarika Africa Mountain Guide’s advice all climbers who wish to take Kilimanjaro Climbing Marangu Route 5 Days 4 Nights to take Marangu Route seriously enough, all climbers must be well organized but also taking all possible safety measure for them to get to the top of Africa.
Marangu Route is the only route with HUTS. All the camps via the Marangu route sell some goods at the camp, goods like Chocolates, Beer, Mineral Water, and soft drinks. Each camp has a radio to contact the Park Office.
The Marangu route can be completed in 5,6Days or even 7 days but it is recommended to take an extra day at Horombo Hut when taking 5 days for acclimatization. At this hut of Horombo, it’s the only campsite with beds and mattresses while Climbing Kilimanjaro.
