The best way to train for climbing Kilimanjaro is to hike at high altitude.  Fortunately, there are altitude training systems that you can use in your own home to pre-acclimatize to Mount Kilimanjaro’s extreme altitude. However, not many people live in areas where this is possible.  Pre-acclimatization will greatly increase the success and safety of your climb.

Altitude training involves the exposure to a hypoxic (oxygen reduced) environment. It is scientifically proven that the human body responds to this through a range of physiological adaptations that enhance the efficiency of the body’s respiratory, cardiovascular and oxygen utilization systems. The benefits of pre-acclimatization include reducing the symptoms of altitude sickness, improving strength and endurance, and decreasing recovery time.
