About 22,000 climbers set out every year to conquer the Mount Kilimanjaro peak. Although our climbing route does not require mountaineering skills, trekking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is physically and mentally demanding and should not be under estimated. Only 40-50% of people who attempt the summit succeed. However with adequate preparation and our leadership on the mountain, a reasonably fit person who puts forth an effort to get in shape will typically reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro successfully. Our success rate is 90%, which is due to our leadership on the mountain as well as helping people understand the preparation required to improve one's chances of success.
