One in a lifetime - Summit day:

Summit day is more challenging than most people realize. It’s easy to underestimate just how much mental and physical strength it takes to reach the top. I wish I’d known just how difficult that the final day was going to be. The feedback I’ve received from my friends who have climbed Kilimanjaro with me was that they knew summit day was going to be hard. But not that hard. In other words, the effort they put forth was even beyond what they had anticipated.

On the typical itinerary, you’ll start your ascent around midnight, already sleep deprived and probably not feeling your best, then hike for six to eight hours in the freezing cold to an altitude of 19,341 feet (5,895 meters), before descending for another four to six hours to 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). That sounds hard. And in reality, it’s even harder than it sounds. But you can do it!

Why do we climb to the summit of Kilimanjaro at night?

Climbing Kilimanjaro at night offers several advantages, including better trail conditions, higher margins of safety, and more spectacular views. We realize that a night ascent can be challenging, due to the darkness, the cold and the wind.
So, while it might not sound so enjoyable to climb Kilimanjaro in the middle of the night, know that there are compelling reasons behind why we do it and it is with your best interest at heart.

It’s for this reason that I say that climbing Kilimanjaro is fun for about 90% of the time. But that other 10%, when you’re pushing for the summit, well that’s where you earn your certificate.

Well, in the two decades as tour operator I’ve never really come up with a definitive answer. But here are the top three most common ‘reasons’ that I’ve heard down the years:

1. It’s easier.
As you get towards the Crater rim, you’ll notice that the ground is largely made up of shale – tiny bits of stone/gravel. During the day, ascending on shale can be like climbing a sand dune. That is to say, every time you take two steps up the slope, the shifting sand/gravel moves you back down the slope again. This soon becomes exhausting. However, at night the shale freezes in place – which makes it easier to ascend.

2. If something goes wrong, you’ve got an entire day of daylight to get down off the mountain.
The most likely place where you are going to get into trouble, and the most remote place, is the very summit itself, of course, known as Uhuru Peak. After all, this is where the air is at its thinnest. So if you are going to get into trouble there, it’s best you arrive at dawn, so your team has got the maximum amount of daylight available to evacuate you.

3. The idea of reaching the very highest point in Africa as Dawn breaks across the continent is a romantic and alluring one.

MACHAME ROUTE:
The route also known as the “Whiskey” route, is the most popular route on Kilimanjaro.

Machame’s draw is in its scenic beauty. However, the trail is considered difficult, steep and challenging, particularly due to its shorter itinerary. Therefore this route is better suited for more adventurous folks or those with some high altitude, hiking or backpacking experience.

The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the south, beginning with a short drive from Moshi to Machame Gate. The path leads hikers through the rain forest to Shira Plateau. Here, many of Kilimanjaro’s routes converge. Then the route turns east and traverses underneath Kilimanjaro’s Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu. Descent is made via the Mweka route.

Mmeshindwa kusimama na Mungu, mmemezwa na viongozi wadhalimu wenye kujali maslahi yao sasa mnaanza na mambo ya gizani.

Ijapokuwa nyie ni binadamu k**a sisi, mna mihemuko k**a sisi lakini chagueni mnayemtumikia Ikiwa ni Mungu wa kweli wa pekee haya mtumikieni, ikiwa ni miungu iliyovaa sura za kibinadamu haiyaa watumikieni,

Hakika mtavuna mnachopanda Mungu hadhihakiwi.

Haki, uzalendo na uadilifu / hao viongozi wa Dini mambo mengi hawasikilizwi, wanapuuziwa mfano Wamasai Ngorongoro, Bandari n.k / je huo ushirikiano ni upi? Wakati mwingine msimamo ni HAKI pia, hapo wameweka misimamo yao pembeni / hiyo ilikuwa ni salamu lakini ni vizuri kukutana na viongozi wa Dini na vyama vyote. Hakuna ushirikiano bila kuwepo na umoja na mshik**ano baini ya wananchi wote.
