So im going to Tanzania tomorrow to climb Kilimanajaro. We fly via Addis Ababa airport where i have a 3 hour layoff before my connecting flight. Anyone ever been to that airport? Is it easy to find your connection?
Also, for anyone that has done Kili, was it easy and quick to obtain your visa on arrival at Kilimanajaro airport?

How did you cope with the Inca Trail? I've not climbed Kili but I've done the Inca Trail and several other mountain climbs and the Inca Trail was the easiest of the bunch. I climbed the volcano Villaricca in Chile (the one that blew recently) a month after the Inca Trail and that was fairly challenging, half our group dropped out.
Just make sure your fit. 0 -
I found the Inca Trail to be difficult in places, especially on the second day. I was ok with altitude as I acclimatised in Puno and Cusco prior to the trek. Leaving for Kili on 19 October doing the 7 day / 6 night Machame route commencing 21st0

I did Kili a few years ago, I did TMB last month. TMB was much harder. Kili is just a walk in altitude, nothing hard about it.0
