Common Questions
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend 60+ days for dry season (June–October) climbs — this is peak season and spaces fill 3–4 months ahead. For wet season climbs (March–May), 30–45 days is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible; message us to check availability.
What is included in the price?
All park fees and TANAPA permits, expert Kilimanjaro guides (minimum 1:3 guide-to-climber ratio), porters, all meals on the mountain, quality camping equipment, emergency oxygen and pulse oximeter, hotel accommodation in Arusha, and airport transfers. The only excluded costs are international flights, visa ($50), personal gear, travel insurance, and optional crew tips.
How do I pay?
Bank transfer (USD or EUR) or credit card. A 10% deposit secures your booking; the balance is due 30 days before departure. Group discounts apply for 4+ climbers on the same departure.
What is the cancellation policy?
Full refund if cancelled 60+ days before departure. 50% refund 30–59 days before. No refund within 30 days due to irreversible park fees and flight arrangements at that point. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance at booking.
Can I climb solo or do I need a group?
Solo climbers are absolutely welcome. We pair solo travellers with small groups where possible, or you can book a private climb at the group rate for a solo supplement. Solo female climbers in particular have climbed successfully with us — our guides are experienced and professional. See our dedicated guide for solo female Kilimanjaro climbers.
