Kilimanjaro Budget Treks

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, However, it does not involve any technical climbing! All you need is to walk slow but steadily. For the summit to be reached, your body must sufficiently acclimatize itself. It is important to be physically, emotionally and spiritually prepared for the Kilimanjaro Expedition, Another important part of the preparation is having the proper clothing before you depart to Tanzania.

Mount Kilimanjaro is a major tourist attraction for experienced and beginning climbers. To get to the mountain, the most convenient way is to fly into Tanzania (Kilimanjaro International Airport), and then travel to Arusha or Moshi, Kilimanjaro’s gateway towns, by vehicle. Both cities are approximately 40 minutes away from the airport and taxi services are readily available. Five days is the absolute minimum duration for a Kilimanjaro climb, six is better. If climbing using the Machame route six days is the minimum, seven days is recommended.
