Kilimanjaro

Tanzania, Africa  

5 895m

Expedition Length : 6-7 Days

Usual Cost : 3 000$

Climbing Season : December/March - June/October

Accessibility : Easy

Technicality : Easy (Hiking)

Waste Exposure  : High (A lot of summiters throughout the year.)

Waste Management : Medium

The wastes are well managed at camp, with transportable toilets and foods transported with biodegradable means.

 

The main issue on this summit will be the human waste management outside of the camps (some summiters talk about a « Sea of a thousands turds » near the summit). The use of a « Wag bag » should be adopted by the summiters, and will be during this project.

Another issue will emerge regarding the porters. It seems that the porters climb between camps at different hours from the main group, and their behavior regarding the waste on the mountain can be judged as poor. This will need to be discuss with the Guide and his team.
