Great time!
I met guide Dennis, he is very kind and nice. I really enjoyed this day trip. If you have some experience of bicycle ride, I recommend this trip than walking trip.

A must do
Incredible experience! Absolutely stunning landscape. Roger was such a fantastic guide and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. This is a must do if you are in the area. I recommend you be honest about your athletic ability. They can take different routes. The one we took was definitely a challenge, but they can make changes based on your level of athleticism.

One Day Climbing Kilimanjaro
Noel both my guide and driver was delight to spend the day with on my hike. We spend almost a total 12 hours together. The climb was challenging, but very exciting. Since I only had one day before our Safari and this was on my buck list, this trip didn’t disappoint.

Q:Can a beginner climb Kilimanjaro?
A:Yes, a beginner can climb Mt. Kilimanjaro as you don’t need any special equipment besides a good pair of shoes, and if you take a private guided tour, you can go at your own pace, within reason. However, having a bit of hiking experience will make the trek much easier.
Q:Is it hard to breathe on Kilimanjaro?
A:Yes, it can be harder to breathe at Mt. Kilimanjaro's summit, Uhuru Peak, as it’s one of the world’s tallest mountains. There’s also some risk of altitude sickness; however, you're likely to be acclimated by the time you've made your way up, and carrying supplemental oxygen isn’t necessary for most people.
Q:Can you shower while climbing Kilimanjaro?
A:No, you can’t shower while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. There are no public showers and restroom facilities as stops along the way are basic. Most hikers just allow themselves to get a bit dirty or bring supplementary products such as wet wipes and dry shampoo to keep clean during the trek.
Q:Can an unfit person climb Kilimanjaro?
A:Yes, an unfit person can technically climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, but it’s probably not a good idea and isn’t recommended. Anyone looking to climb should be able to walk relatively long distances without getting winded and will want to do some training, as well as consult your doctor before you go.
