planning for Kilimanjaro

Posted Jun 29 2009 5:19pm

Kili is one of our top 10 hikes in the world.

A guiding company, Mountain Quest Adventures, posted 10 facts to consider before you climb Kilimanjaro.

1) Safety must be your top concern.

2) Consider staying away from the “tourist” routes.

3) Choose a company who specializes in climbing Kilimanjaro.

4) Select the route that best helps you acclimatize.

5) Choose a trekking company who actually visits your lodgings, knows the staff and approves your menu…

6) Your support team of guides and porters will make or break your trip. Choose wisely.

7) Select a company that hires the best staff, pays them fair wages and supports the local economy.

8) Do NOT rush your ascent…

9) If you are traveling to Africa, a Safari is a “must do.”

10) Get the best climb for your money.
