Why Daily Health Checks Matter On Kilimanjaro
The Kilimanjaro Daily Health Check is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of climbers during the trek. Each day, climbers should monitor key health indicators, including hydration levels, altitude sickness symptoms, and physical exhaustion. Regular checks help identify early signs of altitude sickness, dehydration, or other issues, allowing for prompt action.
Our guides are all experienced in identifying altitude sickness and dealing with the problems it causes with climbers. They will constantly monitor your well-being on the climb by watching you and speaking with you. Twice daily, in the morning and evening, our guides will conduct health checks.
