There is something magical about the name "Kilimanjaro".
For instance, "Zanzibar", it is a place that many people dream of visiting - just because of its name.
And, like Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania wonderful nation.
The perfect dream vacation would be traveling to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro
a well-deserved rest and relaxation, Zanzibar period - Wow!
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in the world stood.
It rises 4600m (15,000 ft) from its base, and is the highest in Africa 5895 m (19,340 ft).
Views from the summit are nothing short of spectacular.
Great name, great statistics -
But the greatest thing about Kilimanjaro, that almost anyone can climb in reasonable health.
You do not need to be a mountaineer to reach Africa's highest mountain summit.
And on your way to the top, you will see nature and scenery that will totally blow your mind!
The top of Mount Kilimanjaro are several routes. The most popular routes are: -
Marangu route
Fairly easy to walk on the soft forest paths. Then, over scree Gillman Point crater rim after the final trek to Uhuru Peak.
Your homes heating and cooking facilities are dotted on this route -
and so far the most comfortable trek Mount Kilimanjaro.
Machame and Umbwe routes
Steep trails through the woods - often wet and boggy, scrambling over scree crater rim.
Mweka route
Used primarily as the best way to come down from the mountain top.
More, Nanjara and Oloitokitok routes
Remote and less frequently used.
Lemosho Glades Route
Probably the most beautiful route - and richest wildlife.
How to get there
You can fly to Tanzania from many parts of the world. The best airport to arrive
Kilimanjaro International Airport Arusha.
Entry Requirements and Visas
All visitors need an entry visa for Tanzania.
It is available in your country or upon arrival in Dar Es Salaam and Kilimanjaro Airport.
You will also need proof enough money for your duration of the stay and a return ticket.
Yellow-fever vaccination certificate is also required to enter Tanzania.
Money
The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TSH), and it can be used for all transactions and local purchases. U.S. dollars are also widely accepted. Credit cards are only OK, major hotels and restaurants. Money (ATM) allows cash advances - but not the poor rate, and for an additional fee. Travelers Cheques are accepted in major hotels, and can be exchanged in local currency bureaux de change - you will need your passport, ID.
Health
It is also mandatory yellow fever vaccination, it is a good idea to take precautions against malaria.
Talk to your doctor about the best malaria tablets.
Make sure you have enough health insurance.
Take plenty of mosquito repellent and use it - especially at night.
I also recommend that you consider getting these immunizations:
* Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid * shit *, * Tetanus
Check with your local physician latest recommendations.
Altitude sickness
Caused by the inability to adapt to the sudden increase in altitude.
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) suffer most climbers, and is more than the risk of irritation. But it can be much more serious for some people - even (in rare cases), and fatal edema. Gaining altitude slowly is the best way to go - keep rushing to the experts.
Serious symptoms are very rare, but the risks must be taken seriously.
My best advice is to consult with your doctor before deciding to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
And ordered the trek with an experienced and reputable company - one with a full medical backup.
It obviously costs more than up for some twisted hippie who happens to know how to mount a walk!
