Safari summary

Booking Kilimanjaro climbing trip through Marangu route 5 days is more affordable, but it is more strenous. This Marangu route has more comfortable accommodation on Mountain huts, and also its terrain are gentle, that is why regarded as an easiest route. However, The 5-day Marangu route is a shorter, more strenuous option, while the 6-day version allows for a more gradual ascent and better acclimatization. We advise beginner climbers to choose a 6 days Marangu route option, to get slow ascent up, especially those without high altitude alpine trekking experience.
