Tanzania

Tanzania: climbing Kilimanjaro

Length
9 days + 2
Highest point
5,895 m
How demanding
Demanding. It is not a technical climb, but it is high: acclimatisation is everything.

In short

  • The climb to the highest summit in Africa
  • On the July flyer: Dr Luigi Vanoni, a mountain medicine specialist, comes along
  • Two extra days on top of the nine on the mountain

Kilimanjaro is not a technical climb: it is a long, high one, where all that matters is how you go up, how slowly you go up, and how well you acclimatise. Nine days on the mountain plus two, with the highest summit in Africa in the middle.
