For many of our trips, trekkers arriving from low level to climb Kilimanjaro often suffer from altitude sickness if they do not acclimatise properly (lack of fitness is rarely a big problem). Therefore on Kilimanjaro we use mainly the Machame Route. It's longer than the Marangu ascent and therefore means 2 more days on the mountain (and more expense), but it's less crowded, an easier climb and much more scenic. You do not need to be super fit for this trek but you should get out for a few weekends on some longish hikes before the trip - or, jog for three or four kilometres a couple of times a week to get a basic level of fitness. That will enable you to enjoy the trek much more. You will see that as well as treks and wildlife safaris we offer our clients insights into the way of life and cultures of local communities. By spending some time in local villages and visiting cultural activity programmes you get a much more rewarding and richer safari experience and the local people get a more direct share of the benefits that foreign visitors can bring. This is a very important part of our work in East Africa.
