Qualifications
Trekking and climbing in Africa is an incredible and rewarding experience. But it is for active and healthy people who are capable of strenuous and vigorous hiking. There is not much level hiking on our Kilimanjaro Climb for Peace - there are lots of ups and downs and summit day is a 12 to 18 hour exhausting and strenuous day! - And you should be prepared physically and mentally for the trip. Although you do not need to have any technical climbing training or experience, you should be a strong and experienced hiker and should have previous experience with backcountry camping and be willing and able to go through the physical hardship of trekking in the great outdoors with all its potential hardships and discomforts (not taking a shower or bath for several days! And being okay being around fellow stinky people!). During this trek you will spend many days at altitudes between 10,000 and 19,000 feet. Although the trails are not overly difficult, when you add this extreme altitude it makes the walking all the more challenging. Now with that said - with some good conditioning and a great attitude you should have the trip of your lifetime!

It is not only wise but also necessary that a good physical conditioning program start at least 3 months before the trek / climb. We will be happy to speak with you about this.

A physician's signature is required for participation on this trip.

- You should bring a smile, your sense of adventure and a curiosity to learn about other cultures and ways of life. -
