Preparations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

AKilimanjaro climb is a very special type of adventure, beyond a traditional vacation. Unlike popular beach vacations or simple hiking tours, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro requires certain preparations. After all, this adventure takes hikers to the highest point of Africa at 5,895 m/19,340 f. This is often the highest altitude many climbers to ever achieve, making this trip a true adventure of a lifetime. In this way, Kilimanjaro adventures are dangerous and unless the trekking party is staffed by the professional guides and equipped with proper equipment, the hikers are exposed to certain high altitude-related risks.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CLIMBING

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a remarkable adventure, but proper preparation is crucial for a successful and enjoyable experience. Firstly, assess your physical fitness level, as the climb demands endurance and strength.

Choose a suitable route that aligns with your experience and preferences, considering factors like scenery, duration, and difficulty. Acclimatization is paramount due to the high altitudes; select a route with gradual elevation gain and ample rest days to minimize the risk of altitude sickness.

Invest in high-quality gear, including suitable clothing for diverse climates, sturdy boots, and essential equipment. Consider health precautions, such as vaccinations and medications for altitude sickness. Adequate travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking is essential. Lastly, mentally prepare for the challenges and embrace the unique experience that climbing Kilimanjaro offers. With thorough consideration and thoughtful planning, your ascent to Kilimanjaro’s summit can be a rewarding and memorable achievement.

I’m beyond satisfied with my lemosho trek together with Mighty Africa Xpeditions We did the 8 day Lemosho trek with Mighty Africa Xpeditions and we had the most incredible time. Our guide Damian, Joel and Jackson took amazing care of us, the porters were great fun and impressed us with their strength and speed everyday and the food was really tasty every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't hesitate to do it with Mighty Africa Xpeditions again. You really feel part of the family by the end of the trip.

Mighty Africa Xpeditions was professional and delivered what they promised. We fully recommend using their services. We were a group of 6 people, did a couple of days of safari at Tarangire National Park and Kilimanjaro trekking via Lemosho route (8 days). Everything has been terrific and ran very smoothly! Sarah at the office, it has been great during the booking process. She replied to all our questions with patience and competence. A staff Member showed up at the hotel with our trekking head guide the day before departing for the trekking for the briefing and for checking all our equipment. Colman, our head guide and Sadiki, the assistant guide: they have been professional, very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond and I'm 100% sure that listening to their advice has been the main key to reaching the summit!, Summiting the mountain was one of the most difficult things I have ever done but with the support of the guides and porters I was able to make it to the summit. It was one of the best experiences of my life and one I won't ever forget.
