How to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro
It made me 
"The most difficult, amazing experience of my life (thus far)"
How I did it: I hiked the Rongai route last xmas 2008, this route was one of the longer ones and because of that, it has higher success rate as you have longer to acclimatise. It really was an amazing experience, though the final push to the summit was intensely difficult. I am really glad I was able to make it to the top for sunrise, amazing experience!
Lessons & tips: - Take it easy on the way up to ensure you acclimatise. It's not a race.
- Drink lots and lots of fluids!
- It's cold during the night, make sure you are prepared for the cold.
- Any bit of training before doing this hike is helpful
