Not everyone is tough enough to touch the roof of Africa!

At 5895 meters Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and towers above most mere mortals.

For those up to the challenge there are a couple of things to particularly consider…

Firstly the time of year you decide to climb can influence your chance of a successful summit. 

 

Those who climb between mid January and Mid March when

conditions are superb have a much increased chance of summit success.

 

The other thing that greatly increases your chance of success is allowing

enough time to acclimatize before you set out.

 

We run 6/7 day excursions over a few different routes to ensure plenty of time … not everyone can match Bruno Brunod’s record-breaking ascent in just 5 1/2 hours!

 

Give us a call to help plan your climb, on 0208 742 0226.

 

And thanks and congratulations to  James, Kylie and Lisa who were kind enough to send in these amazing pictures!
