Climb Mount Kilimanjaro recommendations

Kilimanjaro: Africa's highest peak, and its sternest challenge. But don't worry – you CAN make it to the top...

Kilimanjaro Top 5

  1. Consider trekking the Rongai route to the summit. There are several routes up the mountain, but fewer people use this one, so trails are less congested, and there is a better chance of spotting wildlife at the lower altitudes – maybe even elephants.
  2. Consider making your Kilimanjaro trek a charity challenge – many companies organise fundraising treks, where you get a subsidised trip in exchange for raising a set amount of money for a good cause. And if Cheryl Cole can do it...
  3. Enjoy the challenge – summitting Kilimanjaro is no walk in the park, and as such the rush you get from standing on the peak is immense, as are the views over the clouds. This is not a holiday in the standard sense, it is so much more: you'll be buzzing from the achievement for years.
  4. Learn some words of Swahili – your guides and porters will appreciate it. The team of locals looking after you is your lifeline on the mountain; chat to them at the end of each day and find out more about their lives – it adds a fascinating human element to this mountain challenge.
  5. Combine your Kilimanjaro trek with a well-earned rest on Tanzania’s
    Indian Ocean isle of Zanzibar or with explorations of the nearby game parks of northern Tanzania – try Ngorongoro Crater for great chances of rhino sightings.
