FIRST DAY TREKKING:<\/strong><\/p>

The first day of all the Kilimanjaro trekking routes, you will be for the first time at an altitude that is already high, so we highly recommend you to take note to the following instructions from this point onward. It is highly advised to drink a lot of water as around 3 to 4 liters little by little every day. To help alleviate symptoms of altitude sickness, consider using a preventive measure like a high-altitude aid medicine. Most climbers take such pills in the morning, before they begin their ascent, to reduce discomfort associated with altitude sickness. The guides will provide more details together with your itinerary information. We also recommend consulting your doctor prior your trip to discuss any potential health concerns like allergies.<\/p>

During the night you may experience discomfort associated with acclimatization due to high altitude, because of a reduction in your breathing pattern, your body gets less oxygen than during the day. Taking altitude into account, you may therefore start feeling sick and experience a headache. Pay attention to your own body and tell your guide if you start feeling any symptoms of altitude sickness.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

ACCLIMATIZATION HIKE<\/strong><\/p>

The acclimatization hike is an easy trek with a slight gain in altitude done in order to speed up the acclimatization process. You should take the acclimatization hikes very seriously. They help increase your chances of successfully summiting Kilimanjaro and save you from the consequences of altitude sickness.<\/p>

The experience and professionalism of our guides play an important role. They are experts on high-altitude acclimatization and will always assist you if any symptoms of altitude sickness arises, ensuring your safety remains the top priority. Tanzania Wildhog Safaris invest a lot in training and education of its team, attracting top talent Team.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

NB: <\/em><\/strong>After the Summit from <\/em><\/strong>Uhuru Peak<\/em><\/strong> Just to let you know, <\/em><\/strong>don’t forget that 90% of all accidents occur during the descent, including most broken arms and legs. Please pay attention to your feet, as there is a high risk of damaging your toenails.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

PLEASE NOTE THAT: If you book a private expedition and need more time to adjust to the altitude, it\u2019s possible to add an extra rest day at any of the camps along the route. Please note that extending the expedition incurs an additional cost, covering extra park fees, staff wages, and related expenses. Nevertheless, this adjustment can enhance your likelihood of a successful summit especially if you feel that the classic itinerary might be too difficult.<\/p>
