To maximize your Kilimanjaro summit success rate, the right preparation will go a long way to help you reach your goal:
- Choose a responsible tour operator with experienced and well-trained guides
- Allow enough days for your climb in order to acclimatize to the high altitude
- Choose a route that allows you to hike high, sleep low
- Train as much as you can, including cardio and strength exercises
- Believe that you can summit; practice visualization and affirmations
- Pack adequately so that you will stay warm, safe and healthy while climbing
- Share your goal to get support and stay on track
- Pre-acclimatize (if possible)
