Mount Kilimanjaro

Public group · 2 members

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is often taken lightly because no ropes, irons, or other attachments are needed, this does not mean that you will reach the top. Every year approximately 30000 to 50000 people start the climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, but only 60% get the actual summit also (Uhuru Peak). 40% do not make it have different reasons, it may be because their condition is not good enough, or they deal with altitude sickness (throbbing headache, vomiting, nausea, and feeling tired and lethargic), in most cases, this time will be noticed by your guide, but unfortunately there are still too many incompetent guides, or not notice this too late. Every year people die of incompetent guides, so be sure you book with a professional and competent company. https://mountkilimanjaro.guide/

Every year people die of incompetent guides, so be sure you book with a professional and competent company. Choosing the right Kilimanjaro guide companies is equally important as selecting the individual guide. we have selected the best Kilimanjaro guide for our daily operation. Initially Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Authority trains and certifies these guides. In most cases, these guides are the former Mount Kilimanjaro porters who had served in Kilimanjaro for not less than 4-5 years and thereafter attended the Kilimanjaro guide course. It is against the park regulations and dangerous to trek Kilimanjaro without a certified guide. Any Kilimanjaro operator claiming to have a 100% success rate with all their clients is most probably lying. There will inevitably be situations where a climber is unable to make the summit, perhaps from asthma, fatigue, mountain sickness, or injury. If any operator claims a 100% success rate, they are either very new on the mountain or being economical with the truth. Notably, the routes with the highest success rates are the longer ones, Lemosho, Machame, and Northern Circuits. Many of the higher-end operators will not use the shortest, Marangu route. https://mountkilimanjaro.guide/
