Frequently asked questions
How fit do I have to be?
Everyone will need to have trained hard and established a good level of fitness. This trek is at very high altitude (over 5,000m), so it is imperative that participants train before coming on the expedition. Some trekking training tips can be found on the Event Organisers website, Global Adventure Challenges www.globaladv.org. We will be sending you training tips and regular newsletters to keep you informed and motivated whilst you are training. Don't worry; you won't be left behind as we have a great Team of porters and guides.
Will I have to carry my own kit?
No, porters will be carrying all our gear en route and our meals will be cooked for us. You will be expected to carry a day pack, which will contain items such as sun hat, sun screen, water, camera, water proofs etc. all you have to do is concentrate on enjoying the magnificent views and experience of Africa!
Do I need specialist kit?
There will be some items that you may require, such as Down Jackets or equivalents – these can be hired at a fraction of the cost of purchasing – further details regarding hiring will be sent to you once you register. You will need to bring good quality walking boots and a 3/4 season sleeping bag - walking poles are a very good idea. A full packing checklist will be sent to you once you register your interest.
What does the registration fee cover?
The entire £395 non-refundable registration fee goes to Global Adventure Challenges and is used to place deposits with the appropriate airlines and ground crew. It is also used to fund all administration involved in organising the trek with resources, staffing, paperwork and information packs. It is also your personal contribution towards the actual event cost.
Where will we stay?
Whilst on the Mountain, we will be camping and all this equipment is provided and set up for us. We will stay at a local hotel at the beginning and end of the Challenge.
