Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is a Kilimanjaro hike?

Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb, meaning no mountaineering experience is required. However, it is a physically demanding trek due to the altitude and long trekking days. Proper training and acclimatization are key to a successful climb.

Do I need prior trekking experience?

While prior trekking experience is not mandatory, good physical fitness is recommended. Training with cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and practice hikes will enhance your endurance.

Is altitude sickness common?

Altitude sickness can affect climbers as they ascend. Leen Adventures follows a slow ascent schedule with built-in acclimatization days to help reduce the risk. Our guides are trained in altitude sickness prevention and carry emergency oxygen for safety.
