All you need to know about altitudes sickness

Altitude sickness occurs when you cannot get enough oxygen from the air at high altitudes. When you don’t get enough oxygen you may experience a range of symptoms such as headache, loss of appetite, and trouble sleeping. Anybody can get altitude sickness, but data suggest that when people who are not used to high altitudes go quickly from lower altitudes to about 2500m (about 8,000 ft) or higher are more likely to experience symptoms. Thus, sufficient acclimatization is critical. It is important to climb slow and allow your body to acclimatize to the elevation.

Every person responds to the altitude differently. Most cases of altitude sickness are mild. In these cases, people may experience headache, nausea, and exhaustion. However, some people may experience more severe symptoms such as a persistent cough and breathlessness (even when resting). At PamojaKili and Safris LTD, health and safety are our top priority. We are experienced at monitoring reactions to the altitude and at ensuring that you will have a safe and enjoyable climb.
