I’m doing the Kilimanjaro hike this year or early nexr year, the Marangu route, and I’d like to have my own sleeping bag. I’m going to Serengeti first and I’ll need a sleeping bag for that part of the trip as well, so I figured I might as well buy one.

I’m not sure what temperature rating bag I need for sleeping in the huts. The information I’ve found by searching mostly seems to reference sleeping in a tent in the open. My travel agent just said “bring a warm one”, which is not that exact 🙂

I’m considering the Husky Annapurna, rated extreme: -28°C, minimal: -19°C, comfort: -12°C

But I don’t want to be sweating overnight and waking up dehydrated.

If I don’t need a sleeping bag that warm then the Vaude Gamplüt 800 is my next choice, a lot more practical (you can unzip the legs so you can walk around, you can take the arms out etc) which is rated extreme -21°C, minimal -4°C, comfort 1°C

But if you guys have another suggestion for a bag please let me know. I don’t want to spend a fortune, a synthetic one will do, I just want to be warm enough on this trip and not freezing at night.

Thanks!
