“Can I join as a first-timer? How do I know if I’m fit enough?”

How do I prepare for Kilimanjaro? Am I fit enough? Should I take Diamox? Can first-timers join? What if I get sick on the mountain? What’s the toilet situation?

These are just some of the questions that 14-time Kilimanjaro summiteer and Life Happens Outdoors team leader Rami Rasamny answers during this sit down with LHO community members.

“What about Diamox? Should I take it? The answer is no but we’ll explain why.”

The talk begins with a brief overview of the trip followed by an in depth Q&A that answers all the main questions and concerns that people have before taking their first step onto the trail to the roof of Africa.
