    March 18th, 2023 Despite not summitting, I can truly say the trip was well organized and supported from our wonderful guides - Freddy and Nicholas, to all the porters who worked so hard to keep our spirits up. We were in good hands and well looked after at all times. There was a variety of food and plenty of it. The Machame route is perhaps more difficult, but it is very scenic. Our plan had to be changed a big on day four when I elected to go down one camp (escorted by a guide), while the rest of our group was able to complete to the summit. The next day we regrouped and were able to come down together. I may go back and attempt this again, perhaps with a longer route. Many good memories were made.

    Thank you for your kind words, Lianna. We take great pride in our guides and all of our team. They are the best in the business. Machame is beautiful, but as you say, it's also hard. Lemosho can be a good alternative for your next attempt. We welcome... Show more

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • Where does this tour start and finish?

      Your Kili climb starts and finishes in Moshi, usually at Springlands Hotel or a similar standard of accommodation of your choice. This will be your home away from home, a great climbers base to get settled in and make all the preparations you need to make before your climb and where you will be coming back to after your climb for a well-deserved hot shower and celebration with your team.

    • What is the average group size for this tour?

      The average group size around 8 people, minimum 2 people.

    • What type of accommodation is used for this tour?

      Expect a practical and climber-friendly accommodation. The usual accommodation before a Kili climb is Springlands Hotel. This is a comfortable and practical hotel, perfect for climbers. The rooms have many options. You can be in doubles, triples, or even have four people share a room. The rooms are clean and comfortable - no frills. The surroundings are green, and you can get fantastic views of the mountain on a clear day. You can rent any equipment you may need from their well equipped rental store. There is a pool, sauna, small gift shop, wifi and a wonderful Garden bar where you can sit underneath guava trees and enjoy a beer or a cup of coffee.

    • Can I join this tour after it's already departed?

      Unfortunately not, once the tour has started then you will need to book another start date for your climb. We want you to experience the best possible trek and avoid stressing to catch up with the other climbers. This trip is a lifetime achievement, and it needs the proper time allocated for a climb. We have climbs departing daily, so no stress, we can book you in.

    • How much time is spent at each attraction?

      On the climb you spend one night per hut. You can add in extra nights at the same camp to spend a little more time, a perfect way to acclimatize, enjoy the landscape by taking a day trek and increase your chances of reaching the summit.

    • How much time is spent driving/on the bus each day?

      You will be picked up at the airport before the start of your trip, and if it is Kilimanjaro Airport, then the drive to your hotel in Moshi, is approximately 45 minutes.

      The drive to your starting point on the mountain, from your Hotel in Moshi is approximately, 1 hours drive.

    • What is the physical rating for this tour?

      You need to be generally healthy before a Kili climb, so no serious health conditions, that goes without saying. The interesting part about climbing Kili is that, a lot comes down to the mental determination of the climber rather than their physical conditioning or strength. Ofcourse, if you are well trained then you will most likely adjust quicker to the physical aspects of the climb but remember, that there is also the altitude that needs to be taken into consideration, and everyone reacts differently to this. The important part is to be well prepared, follow the instructions of your guide, because they prepare you to make the summit according to your individual capabilities. Drinking lots of water helps a lot! One more thing to take seriously, is the choice of route and number of days to be considered alongside your physical rating. The Marangu is known as the Coca-Colar Route, because it is considered the kindest of routes on Mount Kilimanjaro. The accommodation is in Huts, which also makes this route more comfortable. The Machame Route, is known as the Whiskey route because it is a harder trek to climb compared to the Marangu Route. The Lemosho route is known for its epic landscapes, and special because you go through a jungle with an armed ranger. But if you are extra nervous about making it to the summit, then adding in acclimatization days increases you chance of making it to the summit and this can be done on all routes. So, route choice and number of days is important to factor in with your physical capabilities.

    • Do you charge a single supplement fee or can I be matched with another solo traveller?

      You can be matched with another solo traveller for the climb. Please note that if you want a Single Room at the Hotel, the night before and after your climb, then you will need to pay a single room supplement.

    • Do you arrange airport transfers?

      Yes, our tours include pick up and drop off at the airport, before and after your trip.

    • Can you assist with booking additional accommodation?

      Yes, you just let us know if you have any specific preferences when it comes to accommodation and we will help you book it. Even if you need advice picking accommodation, you just let us know what criteria you have and we will find the best possible options for you!
