Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Kilimanjaro is not a mountain you prepare for on summit day. You prepare for it long before you reach the trailhead.

Standing at 5,895 metres (19,341 feet), Mount Kilimanjaro takes you through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and the cold upper slopes of Kibo. For a first-time climber, choosing the right route, preparing your body, managing altitude, packing correctly and understanding the realities of summit night can make all the difference.

Conquer Mount Kilimanjaro is a practical guide for first-time climbers who want to approach Africa's highest mountain with preparation, confidence and sound judgement.
