So how many manage to reach the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro? Our statistics are good so far: 80% of our clients have reached Uhuru Peak since January 2001. Some people who do not make it end up with altitude sickness. Some got too exhausted or were suffering from strong headaches and nausea due to the altitude. No one can tell you who will make it or not. Some of the best advice is to take it slow and drink plenty of water. 

The number of people who manage to reach the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro also depends a lot on which route they take to the summit. Some routes have a higher completion rate than others.

A little tip, if you are used to a fast pace, as our director is. Then you want to be the last one, walking behind the slower ones. In this way, you will not be moving too fast up the mountain. It is important to listen to the guide and porters, as you will increase your chances of reaching the peak.
