Kilimanjaro Expedition: We are also taking on the challenge.

The idea came from our customers. People are increasingly acclimatizing the Kilimanjaro want to climb at home in a high altitude tent. The figures prove that this is not a bad idea: Kilimanjaro is very popular as you do not need any climbing experience to reach the top. The whole route up to the summit can be easily walked. The only danger is altitude sickness. Altitude sickness determines whether or not you will make it to the top. When you experience severe altitude sickness, there is nothing else to do than to descend again. If you don't do that, it can be life threatening.

Every year there are around 60,000 tourists trying to climb the giant of Africa. Of these, only half of them reach the top. The other half had to drop out early due to altitude sickness.

"At Altitude Dream we are proud of our 100% score"

To reduce the risk of altitude sickness, there are a number of tips, but if you really want to arm yourself well, then advance acclimatize at home to the height of course the very best in a height tent.

At Altitude Dream we are proud of our 100% score. One of our customers has never reached the top. UNIQUE!

The frustrating thing about this story is that I receive more and more enthusiastic emails from customers with a photo of the top! Also via our height tent installer Jelle I regularly get stories about the Kilimanjaro. Because of this it naturally started to itch for me too. Because, with embarrassment on my cheeks, I still have to explain until today that I myself have not been at the top.

Bucket List

A while ago I made the decision. Together with my father I embark on an adventure. Kilimanjaro has been on my 'Bucket List' long enough!

On 5 October we will fly to Africa. I will try to report every week about the preparation and other fun facts.

“Returned Saturday from a very successful trip to Kilimanjaro. The ascent and descent to the top in the minimum time of 5 days was very successful for me. I have not had any problems with altitude sickness, unlike my two friends who were also with me. They suffered from the symptoms of altitude sickness. I am convinced that sleeping in the height tent helped! "

Thank you Altitude Dream!

Greetings Nico Verdoes ”

Kilimanjaro Yannick“Everything went perfectly and we reached the top without any problems.

It is really beautiful and physically feasible for every healthy person.

Due to circumstances, we did the Marangu route, which by the way was a very beautiful route, only the same way back. 

I will certainly use your services in the future.

As a mini experience expert I can assure you ... It really helps Your tent.
