MOUNT KILIMANJARO TRIVIA!!!

NAME OF THE GAME:
Name the flora which can be found on mount Kilimanjaro in the images on this post!

OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CHEAT!! HINT: IF YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO WORK GOOGLE, GO AHEAD BE MY GUEST (and let me know the trick)!!! 🤔

It is said that to climb up Kilimanjaro is to walk through four seasons in four days. It is true, of course, and nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in its flora. There are flowers, plants and trees that you can find in no other part of the world but here (Mount Kilimanjaro)! The variety of flora found on Kilimanjaro can be ascribed in part to the mountain’s tremendous height and in part to its proximity to both the equator and the Indian Ocean. Add to this the variations in climate, solar radiation and temperature from the top of the mountain to the bottom and you end up with the ideal conditions for highly differentiated and distinctive vegetation zones.

First aid for different types of injuries, treatment procedures, safety considerations and more...

First Aid Certification is an essential qualification for anyone looking to enhance their ability to respond effectively to a wide range of emergencies, from minor injuries to life-threatening conditions. Exuberant Kilimanjaro guides have undergone a certification course that offers in-depth training on critical first aid techniques, including how to treat wounds, manage burns, CPR, etc. Gaining this knowledge is invaluable not only for personal preparedness but also enhances the safety of our treks on Kilimanjaro. It equips individuals with the confidence and competence to act quickly and effectively, potentially saving lives and reducing the severity of injuries before professional medical help arrives or helicopter rescue...

Exuberant Kilimanjaro's commitment to health and safety is about empowering individuals to make a meaningful difference during critical moments, fostering a safer and more prepared climb community.

"CPR for adults: Give 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths. This is known as “30:2”. Aim for 5 sets of 30:2 in about 2 minutes (if you are only doing compressions, aim for about 100 to 120 compressions per minute)."

So mountaineers the world over follow a simple maxim: "climb high, sleep low". In doing this, you acclimatize much faster than just staying in one spot for several days while also continuing to make progress on your climb.

In that regard, our itineraries are meticulously designed to prioritize your safety and well being. This entails ensuring that you have had the best acclimatisation profile possible by the time you reach the summit (BTW this entails planning your bedtime too...😴).

📌The “climb high, sleep low” rule:

Climb high: gaining increasing altitude each day as you trek, forcing your body to adapt to the lower-oxygen environment.

Sleep low: sleeping at a lower altitude than you’ve climbed that day, allowing your body to recover in a comparatively oxygen-rich environment.

Of all the interrelationships we witness between animals out on safari there is one that is most commonly seen, and that is of the Oxpecker bird and its large mammalian hosts. Oxpeckers, of which there are two local species, live in association with many species of herbivores, ranging from small Warthogs and Impalas, to the big Giraffes, Buffalo and Rhinos. These birds spend their daylight hours picking and consuming parasites out of the pelage of their hosts usually in a win-win relationship known as mutualistic symbiosis. Both species involved gain several advantages from their relationship.

In the African bush there are many types of animals and birds, ranging from big to small they all form part of one complex web of interrelationships, either being on one another’s diet in a very complex food chain or perhaps form part of a symbiosis between species. Symbiosis derived from the Greek word for ‘living together’ essentially refers to a long term interaction between different biological organisms. In laymen’s terms it means that there is some form of relationship between two species that is either beneficial or parasitic by nature.

Kilimanjaro;
Wow 😍, another Bucket List item to be ticked ✅.

Even though it can be cold, wet and freezing, DON’T let that stop YOU!

"I remember my first time It was freezing and I found it hard to hold my phone still while trying to take photos and videos on the summit, because I had to remove my gloves but it was so cold my hands were shaking 🥶 lol🤭."

Trust me, YOU will NOT regret a single moment!😉

So stoked to see so many of you becoming a part of our Kilimanjaro family! For those of you starting out to plan to taking on Kilimanjaro, "You flipping rock!"

Remember, there are "ways to do this"...

GOLDEN RULES;

1. If you have a chance to pre-acclimatize before trekking Mount Kilimanjaro, do so. A local example is to trek the neighboring Mount Meru (4,565 m) before attempting Kilimanjaro... However, If you are a novice high altitude trekker then choose a route itinerary that is at least seven days long (ensuring the route variation allows for a good climb high, sleep low opportunity).

2. When on the mountain make a point to go as slowly as possible, do not overexert yourself, even on the lower reaches.

3.Drink loads of fluids (2.5 - 4 liters a day).

4. Do not drink alcohol, take stimulants, or smoke on the mountain.

5. You may use Diamox as a preventative measure..., ask your doctor about this. Our guides will only advise you when to use and how much whilst on the mountain.

Summit night on Kilimanjaro entails a steep climb paired with extreme conditions which awakens the adventurer in all of us - trekking "pole pole - slowly slowly" is key to help combat dyspnea...😉
