Are there showers on Kilimanjaro? No, there are no showers on Mount Kilimanjaro. All water used at camps is carried from nearby natural sources and treated for safety. Given these limitations, showers are not feasible during the climb.
To maintain personal hygiene, we recommend bringing biodegradable wet wipes for quick and easy clean-ups. Additionally, our team provides a small bowl of warm water every morning and evening. With this you can wash your hands and face, offering some comfort and freshness along the trek. These measures ensure you can stay clean while conserving water resources on the mountain. There are cold water showers on the Marangu route at Mandara and Horombo huts. However water temperatures are very cold and water supply cannot be guaranteed.
