When coming to Tanzania and thinking of climbing mount Kilimanjaro then first consider precautions and things that will make your trip successful. Kilimanjaro tips for international mountain guides and Alpine clubs are altitude sickness, treatment, and how to prevent mountain sickness. One of the precautions to consider is how to avoid problems. One of the problems which might occur is High Altitude Sickness (HAS) or Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). However, if you have proper information about HAS/AMS then you will climb Mount Kilimanjaro successfully and with comfort. Mountain climbing guides on Mount Kilimanjaro and Meru know well about AMS. All mountain guides are well trained and most of them have experience 5 to 20 years trekking Mount Kilimanjaro. So When hiking up Kilimanjaro tells the Mountain guide how you feel and also follow the advice at this Link.
Mountain guides assist climbers to acclimatize, and hence avoid Mountain sickness. There are many ways to acclimatize; one is before starting Kilimanjaro trekking. While around the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, a Tourist can take a day hike to some altitude high level and some walking around. High Altitude sickness or Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can affect mountain climbers, hikers or travelers who ascend too rapidly to high altitude, typically above 8000 feet or 2400 meters. The risk is higher for persons who normally reside at or near sea level. Anyone is at risk, no matter what age or level of fitness.
The reduction in atmospheric pressure and a lower oxygen concentration at high altitudes are the cause of the illness, which can affect the lungs, nervous system, muscles, and heart. Symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. So, the symptoms of mountain illness are Headache, Loss of appetite,Nausea and/or vomiting, fatigue, Dizziness or lightheadedness, etc. These are first symptoms, and if they persist you have to descend down.
Considering hiking high at altitudes of the peaks of Mount Meru (4667 meters) and Mount Kilimanjaro (5895 meters) and the short time span generally taken in climbing these mountains, most climbers will develop some form as AMS, if they do a rapid ascent without sufficient acclimatization. The Marangu route you can climb for 5 days successfully to the top because the Marangu route is easier and more gentle. However, it depends on how fit you are, and 6 days is recommended so that you have enough time while climbing Kilimanjaro. Other routes mostly need 6 days or more like Machame, Rongai, and Umbwe; while Lemosho and Shira need 7 days or more for Kilimanjaro trekking expeditions. Altogether, this company provides fair trekking prices, and makes trip booking affordable.
In Kilimanjaro climbing planning, we can prevent mountain illness in several ways. Climb Kilimanjaro in a period of the year (months) which are dry. Months of the year without rain are the best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The clearest and warmest conditions are from December to February, but also dry (and colder) from July-September. Acclimatization is the exercise done to become used to the weather and high altitude. Acclimatization helps to avoid altitude sickness.
When climbing above 300 meters, sleeping elevation should not increase to more than 300 meters per night, and spend a second night at the same elevation for every 1000 meters. That is why we recommend taking an extra day for acclimatization so that your Kilimanjaro climbing holiday goes and summits with success.We recommend Marangu route 6 days, Machame route 7 days, etc. Recognize early symptoms of AMS, so you can return if needed. Experienced guides will monitor you and warn you in time.
