    This is one of the most useful guidebooks I have ever purchased. It was great for my trek (and kept me occupied in our down time) and was a useful guide for my 3 month stay in Moshi. If you are planning to climb Kilimanjaro this book is a must-have!

    Reviewed in Canada on March 27, 2020

    The book was accurate and detailed, however in the end, I did not book a trip because I could not find a reasonably priced-vendor who was willing to organize a low impact / footprint trek on the Umbwe route. All companies wanted a full expedition style trek with no fewer than 9 support staff, while I was looking for a more alpine-style experience with a guide and maybe 1 porter - this type of trek is just not done by any of these groups. Personally, I could manage this whole thing on my own, and assume any risk, however existing permitting regulations (aka money grab) do not allow this. So, I'll keep my hard-earned money and do my free-hiking in the beautiful Rockies.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and down to earth
    Reviewed in Canada on October 27, 2010
    I just got back from climbing Kilimanjaro with a group booked through Henry Stedman and his website. I had purchased the book as soon as I made the decision to go as I wasn't sure what my impulsiveness had gotten me into!. It is full of accurate descriptions of what to take, expect along the way, how and when to tip the porters (which is a huge stressor) and many other good tips. Unlike the other reviewer who found his style a bit flippant, I enjoyed Mr. Stedman's sense of humour and laughed out loud at some of his comments. Do make sure you get the latest edition of the book - there are some updates. I also purchased the dvd "Kilimanjaro: the Roof of Africa" (sorry, 鶹, on ebay) to get a visual perspective. Some in my trekking group found it "dull"; some enjoyed it. But everyone liked the book.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2014

    Back in 2012 a friend and I decided we wanted to climb Kilimanjaro, but we didn't have a clue where to begin. "There's bound to be a book" I thought, so I had a look and plumped for Henry's; boy am I glad I did! My version was the previous one to this, and we only travelled at the start of July this year (2014), so it would be understandable if some things were a little out of date, or not mentioned at all. For instance in my book there is no mention of Fifi's restaurant in Arusha (on Themi Road which is just off Sokoine Road very near the clock tower) which is absolutely fantastic! The food is wonderful, and, most importantly, the bottles of Kilimanjaro lager are brought with a chilled glass! Delightful.

    I digress. The book covers everything you can think of, UK based agencies, local agencies in the cities, as well as the cities/towns themselves, with hotel/lodge/b&b reviews restaurant reviews and maps to help you locate anything you want to find. There is equipment lists, advice on AMS, jabs, malari, and other such things. There is even a small Swahili/English section so you can pick up some basics to help you get by politely (and throw in 'poa kichizi kama ndizi ndana ya friji' in response to a street tout's standard 'jambo' and you might not get pestered quite so often. It's not rude - it means 'cool, crazy, like a banana in a fridge', but it might help convince them you aren't 'just another tourist')

    All the routes up the mountain are covered in great detail, with daily route maps, telling you what you are likely to see, what routes are best and what things let other routes down. Henry is delightfully candid in his description of the long drop toilet facilities on some of the busier routes, which helps give the feeling that the book is written by 'someone like you' who is trying to inform you about what to expect as opposed to someone who just wants to sell books. you will also read about the flora and fauna, and the Chagga. Basically, everything is covered!

    In the end, so impressed by the quality of the book, we ended up booking our entire trek and safari through Henry himself, and it was absolutely wonderful. This book is an absolute must for anyone with ambitions of climbing this most beautiful of mountains

    This is the definitive guidebook about how to plan your trip, what to do to get ready, what to know about your hike, and a lot of good advice. My friends and I were planning a trip in 2025 but too soon so doing a week in 2026. The author has a lot of good advice and even has a list of companies that offer Kilimanjaro excursions. Would highly recommend adding 2-3 days to do a safari park since you are there in Tanzania. I'll update this review after our trip.
