About Mount Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Climbers pass through five ecological zones, from cultivated foothills and rainforest to alpine desert and the glaciated summit.
Preparation and fitness
No technical climbing skills are needed, but you will walk for several hours a day at altitude. Train with long hikes, stair climbing and regular cardio for two to three months beforehand.
Best time to climb
January to early March and June to October usually offer the driest conditions. April, May and November are the wettest months.
Altitude awareness and safety
Altitude sickness can affect anyone. Walk slowly ("pole pole"), drink plenty of water and tell your guide about symptoms. Guides check your health daily and will descend with you if necessary. Travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking is essential.
Packing list
- Warm sleeping bag (-10 °C comfort)
- Waterproof jacket and trousers
- Insulated down jacket
- Broken-in hiking boots
- Headlamp, gloves and warm hat
- Trekking poles and daypack
