ABOUT KILIMANJARO

At 5895m Kilimanjaro is the ldquoWorldrsquos Highest

Free Standing Mountainrdquo Considered to be

the easiest of the ldquo7 Summitsrdquo Kilimanjaro

should not be underestimated and no matter

what your fitness level this trek will challenge

and inspire you The great news is that it is

achievable and most people who take the

time to train and acclimatise will reach the

summit

Having won ldquoAfricarsquos Leading Tourist Attractionrdquo

for the past 3 consecutive years Kilimanjaro

is high on many peoplersquos bucket lists and is

particularly busy between July and September

There are many different routes on Kilimanjaro

but we recommend and use the Machame

or Lemosho routes because of their superior

acclimatisation

Acclimatisation on Kilimanjaro is critical Every

year thousands of trekkers are evacuated

to hospital because they do not acclimatise

properly This is why all of AOLrsquos itineraries

include 7 - 8 day treks and we put a huge

emphasis on safety and going slow We have

a proven safety and summit rate and in the

past 3 years we have successfully taken

100 of our trekkers to Uhuru Point

Kilimanjaro is a fascinating mountain with 5

different ecosystems ranging from rainforest

to arctic glaciers The first recorded ascent

was in 1889 and the summit Uhuru Peak

means ldquofreedomrdquo in Swahili

Hiking Time 5 - 7 hours

Habitat Rain forest

The drive from Moshi to Machame Gate takes

about 90 minutes The journey passes through

the village of Machame which is located on the

lower slopes of the mountain After registering

at the gate we walk through the rain forest

on a winding trail up a ridge This trail can be

muddy and slippery and it frequently rains on

this day It is recommended that you bring or

hire good wet weather gear

- Distance 5 km

After breakfast we leave the rain forest and

continue our ascent along a steep and rocky

ridge The climb is more challenging than day

1 and the majority of the morning will be spent

walking through an eerie mist Once the mist

lifts the 365 degree views are spectacular

until you reach Shira Camp where you can

look up to Uhuru Peak as Kibo towers above

you

From the Shira Plateau we continue our trek

up a ridge towards Kibo The walk is a gradual

incline that eventually leads us to lunch at

Lava Tower (4700m) This is a challenging

walk and it is not uncommon to feel slight

discomfort and the beginning effects of Acute

Mountain Sickness (AMS)

After lunch we descend quickly through

some of the most stunning scenery you will

ever see to reach Barranco Camp (3900m)

While you end the day at the same elevation

as you started this day is very important

for acclimatisation and will help your body

prepare for summit day

Distance 5 km

trek Barranco Wall Despite the well trod path

ascending this 300m high wall is extremely

challenging Lucky yoursquore joined by an

experienced team of guides and porters who

will sing dance and support you all the way to

the top

Safely on top of Barranco Wall yoursquoll gasp at

breath-taking 360 degree views of never-

ending valleys far-away savannas and

millions of fluffy white clouds billowing below

in to camp the rest of the day is very easy

COST BREAK-DOWN

reduce their fee and still make a profit is by

cutting other costs Wages are usually the

first to go and some companies purely rely

on tips to pay wages Food and equipment is

usually next

If yoursquore trekking Kilimanjaro make sure

you book with a reputable company and

pay a fee of at least US$1800pp for a local

company or US$2500 for an international

company (due to additional safety

procedures better skilled guides and extra

insurances) Donrsquot risk your life to save a

few dollars

WHY IS KILIMANJARO EXPENSIVE

Herersquos why you should not pay less than US$1850pp to trek Kilimanjaro

There are many horror stories from trekkers

who have paid a cheap local provider and

turned up to realise their fee doesnrsquot cover

many of their costs or worse the company

doesnrsquot exist

Worse still approximately 1000 people each

year are evacuated on stretchers because

their guide did not properly manage their

altitude sickness Some even die

With mandatory park entry and camping

fees ranging from US$800 - US$1000pp

(US$130day) the only way operators can

Costs based on the estimated average cost for a Tanzanian operator based on 10 trekkers on a 7-day Machame Route trek (US$1850pp)

which are all just a short drive from Kilimanjaro
