Policies & safety
Cancellation policy
A 30% deposit is required to confirm your Kilimanjaro booking. The remaining balance is payable upon arrival in Tanzania. Cancellation, rescheduling, and refund requests are subject to the booking terms provided and accepted at confirmation. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering trip cancellation and high-altitude trekking.
Safety notes
This is a challenging high-altitude trekking expedition reaching 5,895 meters. Participants should be physically fit and prepared for prolonged hiking, cold temperatures, and changing mountain conditions. A valid passport and appropriate travel insurance covering trekking up to at least 6,000 meters are strongly recommended. Our guides monitor climbers for altitude sickness and other health concerns. Summit success is never guaranteed, and guides may require a participant to descend when necessary for safety. Travelers with pre-existing medical conditions should seek medical advice before booking.
