Climbing Kilimanjaro

This is one task so many people around the world (myself included) aims at accomplishing, millions have failed while a lot more have found success in this task. Only then did I know it took some aspect of experience and some sort of training to embark on this task.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a physical undertaking, so you should prepare yourself accordingly with a Kilimanjaro training program. Being in good shape is important in many respects. Obviously, strong, conditioned legs make it easier to walk uphill and downhill for sustained periods of time. General aerobic fitness allows the body to function efficiently with less oxygen. And a fit body is more likely to withstand the stress of consecutive days of hiking and camping.
Finally, a positive mental attitude can work wonders for you when fatigue and doubts arise.

How hard is it to climb Kilimanjaro? That's a difficult question to answer because some people don't train much and fare very well, while others engage in a disciplined training program and succumb to the altitude in a few days.
We've heard marathon runners tell us that climbing Kilimanjaro is the hardest thing they've ever done. The best advice we can give is to train adequately, as described Below, and get yourself in the best possible hiking shape.
The mountain is a big unknown, and you won't know with certainty how you will react until you are there. In a survey we administered, on a scale of 1 (easy) to 10 (difficult), respondents rated their climb with an average difficulty of 7 (see Can an Unfit Person Climb Mount Kilimanjaro? ).
