Your daily diet while on the mountain is one of the most essential elements in ensuring a successful climb. Unfortunately, this is an element often overlooked by many budget operators. With The Bushmen Expeditions we choose the ingredients carefully to ensure that the food prepared by our team is tasty, easy to digest at altitude, and has a high energy content.

Your guide will be the most essential element in your your climb. One of the biggest reasons climbers who use the Bushmen Expeditions have a 90% success rate is because of the experience of local guides. We use only experienced and highly trained local guides. Depending on your group size, you will be accompanied by an assistant guide and full support team of porters and cooks.
You can climb throughout the year, however, we recommend you avoid the rainy seasons of Apr-May and Nov. The ideal months are Dec-Mar and Jun-Sep.
It is very important to have appropriate equipment for the ascent. It is frustrating to be uncomfortable, inconvenienced or unable to do all you want because of improper equipment, and it can even be dangerous. We will provide you with a complete receommended packing list to ensure you are as prepared as possible for all weather conditions.
The better equipped you are for the climb the better your chances of making the summit!
