The Mount Kilimanjaro 5-Day climb via the Marangu route is a popular choice for budget-conscious climbers who prefer spending fewer days on the summit of the mountain. This route involves four nights of accommodation in huts, with two additional nights before and after the trek, resulting in a total of seven days for the tour. The Kilimanjaro Marangu route offers a relatively easier ascent to the summit and has been successful for many trekkers, thanks to the extra day allocated for acclimatization to the altitude.
