Accessibility and practical details

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for pregnant travelers
  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • Africa’s highest mountain is a popular but quite challenging trek, made more difficult by the rapid ascent in altitude and a lack of time to acclimatize. Only an estimated 75% of people make it to the top (our success rate is over 90%). To climb Kilimanjaro, there’s no need to be super-fit. This is a trek, not a climb after all, and if you can run for 20-30 minutes once or twice a week, and enjoy an all-day hike at weekends, you should be fine. That said, many people do underestimate Kilimanjaro, its conical shape, leaves little time to acclimatize for heights and, unlike on other treks, if altitude sickness kicks in that’s it. We recommend that you’ll read more about how fit you need to be to climb Kilimanjaro, and how to prepare.
