One of our climber once said "..trekking Kilimanjaro is about the journey just as much as it's  about the summit ".

 

To that end we at Everlasting Tanzania Travels believe that our Kilimanjaro preparatory programme should be holistic in nature and adapted and integrated to fit into your actual lifestyle choices.

Training for Kilimanjaro challenge is half the fun.

 

There are about 4 key areas in our training for Kilimanjaro

 

Blood analysis

Put it simply, blood is the key to success, i.e. if your iron leve is off the scale your more prone to altitude related illness. To most people who are coming to Kilimanjaro, this is their first experience in high altitude (4600 metre and above) usually with little understanding of their physiology , through our blood analysis, you can find out how your body will perform in the Altitude. Our medical experts will give you markers and advise on the blood works.

 

Cardiovascular System

You need to train your heart and lungs so that your body can cope with the rigors of a high altitude expedition.

Hikes, frequent swimming, endurance training, cycling etc.

 

Immune System

The first thing altitude attack in your body is immune system, a fitter, well trained and well fed climber is less susceptible to fatigue. You need to strengthen your immune system with the food you eat and the training you do. That's your armory!
