All Day

Acclimation to Mount Kilimanjaro is designed to help you adapt gradually to the mountain climate and the changing difficulty of climbing mountains. Our program is carefully crafted to acclimate hikers to the rigorous high-altitude hiking, observing safety, and exhilarating ascents that build the resilience to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

With a team of seasoned mountaineers and expert guides, we are committed to providing you with an adventure and experience. You will undertake four preparatory hikes strategically planned to help your body adjust gradually to the reduced oxygen levels at higher altitudes, minimizing the risk and impact of altitude elements.

The Hikers Arena team is passionate about mountaineering and has been on the mountains sufficiently before. We will be listening to you and observing you to bring the best results out of you. Join us starting November 2, and let’s be on a journey. We welcome you to the arena. Book today!.

Readiness Checklist


✅Sit, relax, and imagine. Where your mind is, the feet will reach there.

✅Take exercises at home, near home, or on the hiking trails.

✅Hydrate often. Water is a medicine for metabolism and trustable support when acclimating.

✅Start where you are with what you have. Wear your sports shoes, hike with them where friendly, understand why hiking boots are important, and plan to buy one. This is where it starts.

✅Stock the rest of the hiking gear slowly. By the arrival of the event, you will have all the necessary hiking gear.

✅Keep in touch. We are here to support you.

✅Maintain a positive spirit. Unlearn from what you heard about hiking.

✅Follow our guides. We have been there before and know what is recommended.

Cancellation and Refund Policy


If your installments are timely, and for any reason, you decide to cancel/postpone the ticket midway, the ticket is flexible. If cancellation/postponement is made four days before the next preparatory event, you can use 4% of the excess total program fee on a future event of your choice. Otherwise, you forfeit 6% of the total excess fee on every day hike missed. If you cancel the expedition at least one week before, you get a refund or a carry-forward of 60% of the total excess program fee. Otherwise, you will forfeit the rest of the ticket.
