Common Questions
What Climbers Often Ask When Preparing for Kilimanjaro
Active fitness is enough to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. If you can comfortably hike for 6–8 hours a day carrying a 5kg daypack, you are physically capable of reaching the summit. Our slow and steady “pole, pole” pacing approach greatly improves acclimatization and summit success, and we recommend 2–3 months of cardio and hiking preparation before your trek.
