Questions
How fit do I need to be?
Good general fitness helps most. If you can walk 5 to 6 hours with a light pack on hills, you are in a good place to start. Training in your boots beforehand pays off.
What about altitude sickness?
The longer routes give your body more time to adjust. Your guides check everyone twice a day and will turn anyone around who is in danger.
What kit do I need and can I hire it?
You need warm layers, waterproofs, good boots and a sleeping bag rated for freezing. Most items can be hired in Moshi. We send a full list.
How many people carry for us?
Guides, a cook and porters come with every group. They carry the tents, food and your main bag. You carry only a day pack.
Can I change my dates?
Yes, for free until 60 days before you travel. After that we will help where we can, but suppliers may charge.
