Kilimanjaro Climb - Dubu Adventures

With all these climbing routes to the peak, Mount Kilimanjaro is however not only the highest free standing summit in the world but also highest accessible point. The chagga who inhabit the area of the mountain has not yet managed to give the meaning of Kilimanjaro with the exception of kipoo (now named as Kibo) for the familiar snowy peak that stands imperious, overseer of the continent, and the top of Africa.

The vegetation of Mount Kilimanjaro range accordingly with the nature of the altitude you are, basically from tropics to the Arctic. At the level of 2700 m the cultivated foot slopes give way to lush montane forest, inhabited by leopard, water buffalo, African elephant, antelope and other primates. As you climb the moorland zone show up where a cover of giant heather is studded with other worldly giant lobelias. Above 3900m, the zone changes to alpine desert which support little life to the fauna and flora. Popular signboards of no water here are experienced in this zone as you hike Kilimanjaro. The final vegetation is of winter wonderland of ice and snow and the magnificent beauty of the top of the Africa.

Unlike other snow caped Mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro is not a technical climbing mountain and need less equipment on hikking. Walking stick, proper clothing, sun glass, enough drinking water and determination are the key to a successfully Mount Kilimanjaro trekker. A successfully climber is the one who prepare himself/herself properly before ascending and ask as many questions as they can during trekking as well as been attentive to the Kilimanjaro mountain guide.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is regularly climbed in 5 days via Marangu route, but for those who wants to make a record they can do less provided that they should pay for a minimum of 5 days. Kilimanjaro climbing tours is a breathtaking activity and mostly its recommended for an extra day for acclimatization. Acclimatization day gives an alpine more chance to reach on the top of Africa as experience the climatical changes gradually. Other Kilimanjaro climb routes offer a minimum of 6 days as Marangu and others 6 days such as Machame route.

The team which will take you to the mountain will comprise a cook(s), mountain guide and mountain porters. Depending on the nature of the group but a minimum of two porters per person carrying less than 15 kg of your luggage, cooking facilities and sleeping tents depending on the route selected. One guide for four to five people with one assistant guide and one cook. Additional of the team members will be done according to the situation of the group and luggage taken to the mountain.

While trekking Kilimanjaro the Marangu route is referred as the luxurious route on the mountain due to the fact that it has huts for accommodation, European toilets and sufficient water tape. Other Mount Kilimanjaro climbing routes are subjected to the mobile camping tents whereby all the facilities are carried by your porters and in most cases they will hike faster than you for the preparation of accommodation, food and water on your arrival.

Creating Vibrant Memories for Adventure Aspirants
We had amazing experience with this Safari. We got so excited when the 4*4 car arrived at our hotel. Abdulrazak and his colleague were very professional and experienced. They knew the best spots in Tarangire national park and where to take the best photos. They were knowledgeable and the kids enjoyed their time. Highly recommended
