The success rate for the Marangu route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is estimated to be around 55-65%. This means that roughly 6 to 7 out of every 10 climbers who attempt to reach the summit using the Marangu route successfully make it to the top (Uhuru peak 1595M) the highest peak in Africa.
The Marangu route includes two acclimatization days at Horombo and Kibo camps, which are located at elevations of around 3,720 meters (12,200 feet) and 4,703 meters (15,430 feet) respectively. During the acclimatization days, climbers typically hike to higher elevations and then descend back to lower elevations to help their bodies adjust to the altitude. This can increase the chances of a successful summit attempt and reduce the risk of altitude-related health issues such as headache, nausea, and dizziness. During the acclimatization period, hikers are encouraged to drink plenty of water, eat well, and move at a slow and steady pace. It's also recommended to avoid alcohol and sleeping pills, as they can hinder the acclimatization process. Proper acclimatization is crucial for a safe and successful hike on the Marangu route.
