Why Climb Kilimanjaro with Safari Multiways?

We’re not just experts in adventure; we’re your personal guide to conquering new heights—safely and joyously.

Fitness Training: Your Path to Conquering Kilimanjaro

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a physical challenge that requires not only mental fortitude but also a body that’s prepared for the task. Here’s how you can physically prepare yourself for this monumental trek.

1. Start Early

Preparation is key, and when it comes to Kilimanjaro, it’s advisable to start training at least six months in advance. This gives your body ample time to adjust to new stress levels and improves your endurance significantly.

2. Cardiovascular Training

Heart health is paramount on a high-altitude trek where every breath counts. Engage in activities like running, cycling, or swimming to boost your stamina. Aim for at least three sessions per week, gradually increasing the intensity as your fitness improves.

3. Strength Training

Climbing Kilimanjaro is not just a walk; it involves varied terrain that will demand strength from your entire body. Focus on building leg strength through squats, lunges, and step aerobics. Don’t forget to build your core and upper body, which will help you with your backpack and overall balance.

4. Hiking Practice

There’s no better preparation than simulating the actual activity you’ll be doing. Spend weekends hiking on different terrains and gradients. If possible, practice with the backpack you intend to carry on the mountain to acclimate your body.

5. Altitude Acclimatization

While physical training at home is crucial, nothing can truly simulate the high altitudes except being in high altitudes. Safari Multiways offers pre-climb tours in varying altitudes around Tanzania to help your body adjust to the reduced oxygen levels.

6. Mental Preparation

The journey is as much mental as it is physical. Regular meditation or yoga can enhance your focus and breathing techniques, which are invaluable on the mountain.
