Tips for Beginners 2025
- Start Training Early: Begin your fitness regimen at least 3-4 months before your trek. Focus on cardio, strength training, and hiking with a loaded backpack to build stamina and leg strength for the long days of trekking on the Lemosho route.
- Hydrate and Eat Well: Keep yourself hydrated before and during your climb. Eating nutritious meals and staying hydrated will help fuel your body, especially during the more challenging days of the Lemosho route.
- Pack Smart: Only bring essential items, as carrying unnecessary weight will slow you down. Refer to our "What to Pack" guide for a detailed list of recommended gear suitable for the Lemosho Route’s varied terrain and weather.
- Acclimatization is Key: The Lemosho route offers gradual elevation gain, but it's still important to take it slow. Follow your guide’s advice on pacing to help your body adjust to the altitude and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
- Dress in Layers: The weather on Kilimanjaro can change rapidly, especially on the Lemosho route, which passes through different ecosystems. Wear layers that can be added or removed to regulate your body temperature.
- Listen to Your Guide: Your guide is an expert who knows the Lemosho Route and Kilimanjaro’s terrain. Follow their instructions on pacing, rest breaks, and safety measures to ensure a safe and successful climb.
- Be Mentally Prepared: Mental resilience is just as important as physical fitness. Prepare for tough moments, especially on summit day. A positive attitude and focus on your goal will help you push through.
- Practice Using Your Gear: Test your hiking boots, sleeping bag, and other equipment before the trek. This will ensure everything is comfortable, preventing discomfort or blisters during the Lemosho route's long days.
- Know Your Limits: Listen to your body. If you feel unwell or overly fatigued, don't push yourself. It’s better to take a break or descend than risk your health. Your guides are always there to assist you.
- Celebrate Your Success: Climbing Kilimanjaro is an extraordinary achievement, so take time to savor the moment at the summit. Enjoy the breathtaking views and take plenty of photos to remember your journey to the Roof of Africa.
