While success rates can vary depending on various factors such as individual fitness levels, weather conditions, and proper acclimatization, the Marangu Route's success rate is often reported to be around 80% to 90%.

Accommodations: The route features well-maintained huts at each campsite, providing climbers with a more comfortable and sheltered place to rest compared to camping in tents. This added comfort can contribute to climbers' overall well-being and success.
Experienced Guides: Reputable tour companies providing the Marangu Route often employ experienced guides who are well-trained in mountain safety and emergency procedures. These guides play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and success of climbers.
Shorter Duration: The 5-day itinerary is shorter than some other routes, which can be advantageous for climbers who want to reach the summit quickly while maintaining proper acclimatization.
Predictable Route: The Marangu Route follows the same path for the ascent and descent, making it a more predictable and straightforward route. This reduces the chances of getting lost or disoriented.
It's important to note that while the Marangu Route has a relatively high success rate, climbing Kilimanjaro is still a challenging endeavor, and success is not guaranteed. Climbers should be adequately prepared, physically fit, and mentally ready for the demands of high-altitude trekking. Additionally, factors like Weather conditions and individual health can influence the success rate.
