Basically, the first thing you need to remember is this: A higher proportion of people fail to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro than do Mt. Everest.So, taking that into account, it's clear that it's going to be one hell of a tough climb.The best thing to do talk to other travellers on who they used as guides to get to the summit. You need a guide, and they're everywhere in Kenya, but the problem is, a lot of them dont know what they're doing and are unsafe. Talk to other travellers about who they'd recomend and contact them. You need a guide that will encourage you to reach the top, but wont force you up there, if you end up suffering too much from altitude sickness.</p></blockquote><p></p>
