tips to observe during Kilimanjaro trekking
Climbing
Although
you are physically fit or trained to climb, change your mind set and stay
positive.
You
must have proper hiking gears so that the climbing trip is success
Walk
at your own pace. It is not a race or competition. Go climb POLÉ! POLÉ!
(Slowly! Slowly!)
On
the second day, you will reach an altitude above the clouds. It is cold, take
warm clothes
To
limit risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) it is best to find a guide that
follows “climb high, sleep low” to help acclimate to the altitude. Machame
route and Lemosho routes have best acclimatization points of Shira and
Barranco.
The
more days in the trek, the more time you have to acclimate, example book 7 days
Machame route instead of 6 days.
Be
prepared for climbing in extreme cold on summit night as temperatures can reach
0 degrees F (minus 18 C). There are ice glaciers at the top!
Clothing:
Kilimanjaro
climbing is going through five temperate climates in just a few days? Be ready
with lots of layers and pack lightly for all seasons. Before leaving, test that
you can actually wear your clothes over each other.
Prepare
to wear the same thing day after day and night after night. The air is thin and
cold so you *probably* won’t sweat or smell like you normally would after a
week without a shower at home.
Pack
at least one complete hiking outfit, including a long sleeve shirt, hiking pants,
underwear, hiking socks, and especially hiking boots. You can rent almost
anything, but don’t want to risk blisters.
