Taking only 3 or 4 days to climb it is perfect for those wanting to get a taste of high-altitude trekking without going too high before or after going on a safari or to help with acclimatization if undertaken before you climb Kilimanjaro. It is ideal for those looking for a quieter trekking experience and should not be underestimated as climbers still need to acclimatize properly to succeed in reaching their peak.
