It is NOT a novices mountain, You need to be an experienced hiker and camper!
There are no real rescue services!
No climb time is REAL time unless you are a seasoned climber!
Nothing is 15minutes away! No point or no camp!
You will need a lot of water. 5L per day minimum. You will need steripen with filtration or tabs!
There are options that you can hire: porta-potties, showers, porters to carry your day pack, etc. The outhouses are not cleaned all the time and are nasty!
Take Swahili for Dummies! English is only for tourist! It helps to know what they are saying!
Camp food is Camp food! Take snacks like chocolate, cliff bars, granola bars, crackers etc. You will need them there!
If you don't live at an altitude already, TAKE DIAMOX!! (unless you are climbing over 10 days).
Don't forget to take cash! You will need it for tips. Also, they will ask you for your belongings so be ready to know what you are willing to depart with and what you are not!
