1.0 out of 5 stars This map is not recommended, November 4, 2003

This review is from: Kilimanjaro: Trekking Map (Map)

If you want to climb Kilimanjaro today, this map is definitely not for you. Not only is the map outdated, the information provided are also far out of date. The map mentioned that access to the Loitokitok Route is prohibited. Now the route more commonly named the Rongai route is open to hikers. What is more preplexing is the scale provided with the map. For example, the distance between the Mandara camp and the Horombo camp is only 11 km (after checking with a few guide books) Using the scale provided by the map, the distance is approximately 90 km. Thera are a number of trails that are missing. The current Machame Route for example now turns to the right at the new Shira Camp (not in the map) to join the south summit circuit to Barafu. This map is not worth buying until it is updated and the scale corrected. I have been looking foward to use the map to climb the mountain but what a disappointment.

This map is outdated! - Be aware there is a new version available. Amazon does not do a good job of indicating this.
