Mountain guides on Kilimanjaro train first aid

First aid and safety at Kilimanjaro

Health and safety are two essential aspects of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Every tour guide should therefore frequently attend respective trainings to understand potential situations of emergency before they arise. Our guide Erasto recently completed another training session.

Our first steps on the mountain – we get to know Machame Route

First day of our hike! Together with our team we drove from Arusha to Machame Gate, where we started the first stage of our tour. Our goal for the day was finally Machame Camp. In this blog post, we tell you who accompanies you during your trip. Moreover, we give you some insights on what to expect at the beginning of your climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.

We climb to new heights – 4 days, 4 camps 4,000 meters altitude difference

In the meantime, we had well arrived on the mountain and walked from camp to camp. This article is packed with information regarding the time during the hike. We tell you what a daily routine looks like in detail, which type of equipment you need during the day, and what to expect from the different stages up to the base camp. Besides, we write about possibilities to stay fresh on the mountain even without your daily shower.

Summit day – Uhuru Peak at close look

Summit day is something very special. For Timo and me, the ascent to Uhuru Peak started in the middle of the night. The sky was starry, the air was ice-cold. In this blog post, we tell you how we experienced the hike from Barafu base camp to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Descent from Kilimanjaro via Mweka Gate and our way back

After 7 days, our hike ended. We walked the last stage of our tour downhill and left Kilimanjaro National Park via Mweka Gate. From there on we went back to Arusha, where we spent another one and a half days before heading back to Germany. In this blog post, we give you some last insights into our trip, and how we finally have thought about it.
