What are the health issues on Mt. Kilimanjaro?
If you have a cold, cough, or any respiratory problem do not attempt to trek this mountain. It can get worse, become dangerous and could prove fatal. If you do attempt it anyway, park regulations restrict you to trek ABOVE 3,000m. You are NOT permitted to trek this mountain if you have any of the following: cardiac problems, high/low blood pressure, pulmonary diseases as well as respiratory problems. We recommend also that you have a thorough dental check up prior to trekking Kilimanjaro. Persons undergoing medical treatment should obtain prior approval from their G.P. prior to booking the trek.
