Mushariff-Ud-Din (1184-1291) said: "A traveler without knowledge is like a bird without wings." As true today as it was almost a millennium ago, the idea that knowledge is the key to a successful expedition is one of Jambo! Travels' foremost tenets. This truth is even more evident on the mountain where good information is of paramount importance.

Kilimanjaro is presented by many outfitters as an easy climb. While the climb is doable by most physically-fit people, 80% to 85% of those attempting the mountain will not reach the summit because they lack the knowledge that might have helped them to get there. Success on Kilimanjaro comes from being adequately prepared, and with our knowledge and guidance, preparation for the trip can be accomplished with relative ease.

For many people, getting started is the hardest part. The planning and preparation seem so overwhelming that many people are unable to move forward. This is where Jambo! Travels can help. We specialize in guiding people through the myriad of preparations for African expeditions. To this end, Jambo! Travels has created a Kili Prep Kit that details the many steps of preparation. Further, the Kit provides invaluable information to assist individuals in reaching the summit and gives them the insider tips that will help to make the climb more enjoyable.

When a climb is booked with Jambo! Travels, the Kit is included in the price. However, some individuals desire to have the information before committing to a climb. For these individuals we are willing to provide to them the Kit so that they might be able to determine if they are genuinely interested in pursuing a trip to Kilimanjaro.

The Kit costs from US$32.95 and the Kit's purchase price may be applied to any travel arrangements made through Jambo! Travels for a period of twenty-four months from the date of purchase.
