Dat dit boek je met de planning helpt is geen loze kreet. Werkelijk alle facetten van de berg en zijn omgeving komen aan bod. De auteur geeft informatie over hoe je een reis naar de Kili kunt boeken, hoe je er komt, wat je er kunt verwachten en hoe je vervolgens de top kunt bereiken. Maar hij is ook erg duidelijk voor wat betreft het bereiken van die top: doe dat alleen onder begeleiding van een erkende gids en doe het op je gemak. Kilimanjaro is immers niet voor niets de hoogste berg van Afrika en daarmee één van de beruchte 'seven summits'.
Practical, best-selling guide to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain and most popular trek.
Fully updated 6th edition with amendments in 2024.
At 5895m (19,341ft) Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest mountain. Yet with no mountaineering skills necessary to reach the summit, even non-climbers can experience the thrill of climbing one of the world's greatest peaks.
