The best exercise that you can do to prepare for Mount Kilimanjaro is hiking.
There are training regimens on other operator's sites which entail strict, extensive, cross-training programs, featuring hiking, running, biking, swimming, weight training, etc.
To sufficiently prepare for climbing Kilimanjaro, the best and perhaps only exercise you need to do is to hike. After all, that is what you will be doing on the mountain. Ideally, you should try to hike as much as possible on hills or mountains to simulate climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
Doing day hikes is superb training. For those who do not have access to trails, the next best option is to train on stairs. You can also train very productively on a stair master machine. As a last resort, walk as much as you can, with extended walks on the weekends.
