Preparing for Kilimanjaro

Choose your route

Kilimanjaro trekking requires preparation for sustained walking, altitude and changing weather. Choose a route and duration that suit your experience and allow time for acclimatisation.

Fitness and health

Build fitness before departure and speak to a qualified healthcare professional about altitude considerations. Follow your mountain guide's advice throughout the trek.

Gear

Mountain clothing, suitable boots and essential personal gear differ from what you need for a wildlife safari. Confirm the equipment list with our team before travelling.
