Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Tips

Make sure your hike is at least 6-7 days for maximum success. Any shorter and you will not be properly acclimatized. Routes vary in degree of difficulty, traffic and scenic beauty. The least difficult routes are Marangu and Rongai; the more difficult routes are Machame, Shira and Limosho. The longer routes may have more difficult hiking but you'll be more acclimatized and your chances of reaching the summit are therefore higher. Do not ever make the mistake of setting off on a significant hike or climb in a new or borrowed pair of boots. There is almost no chance that you will last more than a day, maybe two without experiencing severe blisters or some other related problem. It is imperative that a new pair of boots are thoroughly worn in before you hit the mountain. Altitude sickness can affect anyone, it doesn’t necessarily depend on your fitness or health. It helps to take Diamox tablets on your second or third day on the mountain, even if you’re not experiencing any symptoms. But beware: you will need to visit the ‘hole in the ground’ a lot more often than usual (for number ones, not twos).

If you have ever thought about making the climb, now is the time to do it. The glaciers on the top of the mountain are slowly disappearing.Contact the Mountain Climbing Specialists for more details.
