The most common cause of tourist death on Kilimanjaro is altitude sickness. Other common causes of death are heart attacks, falling and being struck by falling rocks. Rock fall, however, is only a risk on the Western Breach and can easily be avoided by taking one of many other available routes.
Guides and porters are also at risk. The most common cause of death for porters is freezing. When porters have an accident or fall sick, they may get left behind by their guide instead of being assisted down the mountain. To avoid such risks, Fair Voyage only promotes responsible tour operators with verified fair porter treatment practices.
