Climbing Kilimanjaro: What No One Tells You About the Trek

 

 

Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, is a bucket-list climb for adventurers worldwide. But while many guides tell you about the routes and costs, they often leave out the small details that can make or break your experience. Here’s what no one tells you about climbing Kilimanjaro.

 

 

 

 

Many trekkers assume Kilimanjaro is just a tough hike. The reality? Altitude sickness can hit anyone, regardless of fitness level. Acclimatization is key—choose a longer route to increase your chances of success.

 

 

•Lemosho Route (8 Days): Best for acclimatization and scenic beauty.

•Machame Route (7 Days): A popular option with a good summit success rate.

•Marangu Route (5–6 Days): Shortest but lowest success rate due to rapid ascent.

 

 

•Meals: You’ll be surprised at how well you eat! Our chefs prepare hot, nutritious meals.

•Guides: Our expert guides ensure your safety and motivation every step of the way.

•Sleeping: You’ll sleep in tents (except on Marangu Route, where huts are available).

 

 

•Train with long hikes at least 3 months before your climb.

•Do stair climbing and cardio workouts to improve endurance.

•Stay hydrated and eat energy-rich foods during your trek.
