Altitude Sickness and Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

Altitude sickness occurs when the body struggles to adjust to the lower oxygen levels at high elevations. It typically arises from rapid ascent without proper acclimatization. Kilimanjaro climbers are particularly vulnerable due to the mountain’s height (5,895 m / 19,340 ft) and the quick rate of ascent.

Hypoxia Training

The best way to increase your chances of successfully summiting Kilimanjaro is through pre­acclimatization with hypoxia training. This method is already a standard practice for Himalayan expeditions, including Mount Everest. The training involves sleeping in a specially designed tent for four weeks, where oxygen levels are gradually reduced and some active training. This process stimulates the production of erythropoietin (EPO) in the blood, enhancing the body’s ability to adapt to high altitudes.
