Details you need to know
- Air cukup tersedia di hampir semua ketinggian, tetapi semakin ke atas sumbernya makin terbatas (bergantung pada danau atau cairan gletser). Disarankan tetap membawa cadangan dan menyaring/mensterilkan air sebelum diminum. (27-09-2025)
- Water is generally available along most sections of the Bugoye route on Mount Stanley, but the higher you go the scarcer it becomes. In the lower and middle zones, there are streams and rivers; in the alpine zone, water mainly comes from glacial lakes; and near the summit, the only source is glacial meltwater. It is recommended to carry extra reserves and always filter or purify water before drinking. (27-09-2025)
