There are a lot of things that go into preparing for your Kilimanjaro climb, and you are probably asking yourself what Kilimanjaro training you need to do… Kilimanjaro training is by far one of the most common topics we receive questions about from our travellers.

The youngest person to ever endure this challenge was 7 years old, and the oldest at 85 years old! That being said, the climb should be well prepared, both physically and mentally. So are you ready? In this video Ricardo and Jacqueline help you train physically for your Kilimanjaro climb. They will outline the three successful components for successful summit training and the necessary exercises you should be able to complete beforehand.

About Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is actually a dormant volcano (don’t worry, its last major eruption was more than 360,000 years ago!) and is the highest mountain in Africa. You will find the highest free standing mountain in the world in the Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania (‘free standing’ meaning it is not part of a mountain range). It is made up of three volcanos; Shira, Mawnzi and Kibo. The Uhuru summit, located on the Kibo volcano, is the second closest point on the earth to the sun.

There are seven established routes to climb Kilimanjaro, and each route varies in length, difficulty and scenery https://followalice.com/kilimanjaro-routes/

Our carefully planned Kilimanjaro itinerary uses the Lemosho route. This is the newest route up the mountain and is favoured because of its beauty, remoteness and success rate. Think beautiful scenery, panoramic vistas, remote landscapes and varied terrain. The route has a great acclimatisation profile; featuring repeated ‘climb high sleep low’ opportunities, maximising the chances that our clients reach the summit and have an amazing overall experience.

Follow Alice to Kilimanjaro and embark on an amazing new adventure with friends from around the world!
