Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa
Kilimanjaro is a strenuous adventure, but you don't have to be an elite athlete. Anyone in good health, with a reasonable degree of physical conditioning and a determined attitude can make it to the top. No climbing skills are required. Even the most challenging portions are still a hike (a steep hike, but a hike nonetheless.) No ropes or technical gear are involved. It is recommended that you be able to jog for five miles or for 10,000 meters without difficulty. It is a good idea to have followed a regular routine of aerobic exercise at least four to six months before the trek, but neither age nor physical disability need be a deterrent. We provide a training program and training advice to our guests. Our guides have taken people from age 15 to 78, and people with severe disabilities. Determination is the critical factor.
