HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO CLIMB KILIMANJARO?.

We have a fantastic record of getting climbers to the summit successfully and safely.  If you are a regular weekend walker with lots of determination we can get you to the top.  That does not mean that it is not an incredibly tough challenge.  TAKE A BREATHE!. The difficulties arise from a number of different factors. First you are walking every day for at least 6 days for an average of 7-8 hours a day.  There is then one very long day of up to 18 hours. You need to be really determined to handle this. Second, you are climbing to nearly 20,000 feet at which altitude, air pressure and oxygen availability is about 61% of sea level.  This means with every breath you are only getting just over half as much oxygen.  You may need  More on which route is perfect for your climb .  Finally you will be camping for up to 8 nights, sleeping on the floor and washing and cleaning in tough conditions.  This is nothing that a positive attitude can't overcome, though. Thank you.
