Have you ever wondered what goes on on the mountain, during a climb? Here, we will walk you through the day-to-day activities on Mount Kilimanjaro from the gate to the summit and back. We try our level best to illustrate what it feels like to be among the climbers on the Kilimanjaro routes leading to the top of the mountain.
This includes detailed information about important things on the mountain like food and meals on the mountain, what you will drink and eat, where you will be sleeping and the type of accommodation on the mountain, your mountain expedition team like porters, guides and chefs/cooks, mountain climatic or ecological zones, the weather on the mountain and how you can make the mountains environment cleaner and leave Mount Kilimanjaro environmentally safe and greener.
We also outline the best safety measures for climbers on the mountain with information like altitude sickness, the symptoms, and best practices to acclimatize and avoid altitude sickness.
While on the mountain you should be aware of what your day pack should contain, your mountain gear, and how much you should tip your mountain climbing team like the porters and the guides.
