Why Kilimanjaro?

Mount Kilimanjaro is not only the highest peak in Africa but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Summits. Rising majestically to an impressive height of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), this dormant volcano stands as a symbol of grandeur and challenge. Kilimanjaro beckons experienced climbers, casual adventurers, and nature enthusiasts from around the world.

The Climb

Scaling Kilimanjaro is a life-changing experience that requires careful planning, physical fitness, and mental preparation. But fear not! With Pikicho Expeditions, you’ll have the support and expertise of our experienced guides who have extensive knowledge of the mountain and its routes.

There are various routes to choose from, each offering a unique perspective and a different level of difficulty. Whether you prefer the popular Machame Route, the scenic Lemosho Route, or the less crowded Rongai Route, we have the perfect option to suit your preferences.

The journey to the summit typically takes around 6-8 days, depending on the route chosen. During this time, you’ll traverse diverse ecosystems, witness breathtaking landscapes, and encounter a rich variety of flora and fauna. From lush rainforests to alpine meadows and finally the barren lunar-like landscape of the summit, each day brings new wonders and challenges.

Prepare for Success

To maximize your chances of a successful summit, proper preparation is crucial. Physical fitness is essential, so undertake regular exercise such as hiking, running, and strength training in the months leading up to your climb. This will help condition your body and build endurance.

Furthermore, acclimatization is critical to overcome the effects of high altitude. Our carefully crafted itineraries include gradual ascent profiles that allow your body to adjust to the decreasing oxygen levels as you climb higher. This greatly reduces the risk of altitude sickness and increases your chances of successfully reaching the summit.

Safety First

At Pikicho Expeditions, your safety is our top priority. Our experienced guides are trained in wilderness first aid and are equipped with the necessary safety equipment, including oxygen and comprehensive medical kits. We strictly adhere to safety protocols to ensure a secure and enjoyable climb for all our clients.

Additionally, we provide a client-to-guide ratio that guarantees personalized attention and assistance throughout your expedition. Our team will be there to support and motivate you, ensuring you have the best possible chance of reaching Uhuru Peak, the summit of Kilimanjaro.

The Rewards

Reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro is an achievement that will stay with you for a lifetime. As you stand at the top, gazing at the vast panoramic views below, a surge of emotions will overwhelm you. The sense of accomplishment, the awe-inspiring beauty, and the realization of your own strength and resilience will leave an indelible imprint on your soul.

Moreover, the journey itself is an opportunity for self-discovery. You’ll learn to push your limits, conquer your fears, and embrace the spirit of adventure. Kilimanjaro will test your physical and mental stamina, but the reward far outweighs the challenges you’ll face along the way.
