what's it like to climb Kili? Jan 24, 2008
By W. G. Moss
I was very apprehensive about climbing Kilimanjaro, even though i always wanted to, until i read Mr. Stewart's book.
The book put me at ease, with its comprehensive description of the routes, the dangers, and the joys.
Though nothing compares to the real experience, 'Kilimanjaro, A Complete Trekker's Guide' will give the reader a thorough discussion of all aspects of the climb, from detailed route descriptions to the ultimate 'thrill of victory', and, yes, sometimes the 'agony of defeat'.
The book is a must read for all first time climbers.

Kilimanjaro: A Cicerone Guide Jul 19, 2010
By Faisal Widad Alnakib
I love Cicerone guides and this one is so well written and formulated. Well worth the buy if planning a trip to Kilimanjaro. Very accurate with regards to Rongai Route which is the route I took. Nice read when stopping for a quick lunch or waiting for other trekkers to get out of their tents :)

A trekkers guide Jul 29, 2011
By craig
I bought this book to read ahead about an upcoming Kilimanjaro trip. Honestly, it was so informative that I brought it with me on the climb. It was great reading it after supper about the upcoming days trek. Has great pictures to identify plants and such.
After the climb, i borrowed it out to a few different people i met back at the hotel, so they studied it up for days getting ready for their upcoming climbs.
Definitely recommend to anyone going!
Very helpful! May 15, 2012

This book is great! It gives a basic overview of almost everything you would need to know (including what side of the plane to sit on when flying into Kilimanjaro!).
Thorough and well made Jan 22, 2012
By Brian A. Lee
I haven't climbed Kilimanjaro but am prepping for a trip and am in the "read everything there is" mode of training.
This book has a lot of info on the area, history, culture and goes into all the major ascents: marangu, macheme, lemosho, shira, rongai and umbwe; summits: normal, barafu, western breach; and even the descents. It breaks down the trek day by day with camp site descriptions.
I also like how the guide doesn't try to sell you anything and all the data is pretty objective.
It has lots of pictures and I feel like I know the trek pretty well. So far it has helped me vet out all the trekking companies by comparing their itineraries.
The guide has detailed maps of all the routes and surrounding area.
I also like how the cover is laminated and has stood up to being knocked around in the bottom of my backpack for a couple hikes.
