Is Climbing Kilimanjaro Really Dangerous? (Real Death Rate)

All outdoor activities carry some degree of risk. Hiking is no different. Though hiking is a fun and fulfilling way to see the world, it can also take you to high elevations that your body isn’t used to.
Every year, there are deaths on Mount Kilimanjaro. However, because the Kilimanjaro National Park authorities don't release statistics, it's impossible to know just how many fatalities occur and whether the mountain is getting more or less dangerous as the years pass.
The reason for the lack of transparency, presumably, is that the country does not want to scare tourists away from climbing Kilimanjaro. So instead of being able to analyze the true risk, we are forced to take educated guesses. This video will attempt to put Kilimanjaro’s fatalities in perspective.
