Preparation on the Climbing or Trekking the Kilimanjaro.
Officially anyone aged from 12 may attempt the climb. However it is
not that easy. The important things to remember are to come prepared
and to take it slowly. If you have the chance, spend an extra
acclimatization day half way up. Being well equipped will also
increase your chances of succeeding in reaching the summit. In
particular, be sure you have a warm sleeping bag (-10°C), insulating
mat, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hat, sunglasses or snow
goggles, sun cream, a large water bottle and a first aid kit.
Altitude sickness is often a problem while climbing Kilimanjaro. If
you know you are susceptible to this you are advised not to attempt
the climb. Symptoms include bad headache, nausea, vomiting and
severe fatigue. This can be avoided by ascending slowly and if at
all possible spending an extra day half way up to acclimatize.
Altitude sickness can be cured simply by descending to a lower
altitude. Some medication (Diamox for example) helps if taken before
the ascent. You can greatly increase your chance of success by using
supplementary oxygen.
