Can older people climb Kilimanjaro?

Age alone does not determine whether someone can climb Kilimanjaro. Older climbers have successfully reached the summit, but physical condition, previous hiking experience and general health are important considerations. Anyone with health concerns should discuss the planned climb with a qualified medical professional before travelling. Also summiting Kilimanjaro is not a case and not measure of enjoyment so that the older climber will climb the Kilimanjaro even without summiting at Uhuru but making the same memory of Kilimanjaro climb and still get their certificate.
