Pre-Climb Preparation

Tanzania has a pleasant, tropical climate with regional variations and wet and dry seasons. Kilimanjaro has its own microclimate due to its vast size and free-standing nature.

Packing for Kilimanjaro can be confusing, not least because so much information exists on the internet! This may be a new experience for you and the weather and varied climate zones don’t help when you’re trying to decide what to bring.

A good level of fitness is required to climb Kilimanjaro due to long days of walking, rough terrain and high altitude. Whilst this is not a technical climb, physical and mental preparation are key to your success and training will give you the best possible chance of reaching the top.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is an incredible and exciting adventure, and we want it to remain that way for you! Whilst the trek is not technical, hiking at high altitude in a wilderness environment inevitably comes with risks, and whilst nobody likes to think anything will go wrong, unforeseen events can unfold.

It is imperative you take out appropriate insurance for your climb. We carry emergency oxygen on all our climbs, for use when someone is suffering with serious altitude related illness...

Our open group departures are capped at 12-15 people maximum. We have extensive experience arranging private tours, for solo climbers, small and large groups, as requested....
