Frequently asked questions
Can I swap Marangu for another route?
Yes. Ask us for a version on Machame, Lemosho or Rongai. The timing and price change with the route.
How fit do I need to be?
You do not need mountaineering experience, but you should be comfortable walking for several hours a day on consecutive days. Hill walking in the months before helps a lot.
What are the chances of reaching the summit?
They depend mostly on time to acclimatise, your pace and the weather. Longer routes and a slow pace give the best chance, but no operator can guarantee a summit.
