FAQ's
FAQ's
Do I need prior mountaineering experience?
No mountaineering experiecne is required, although having a foundation of hiking is very helpful. This expedition is an accessible adventure for those new to trekking and mountaineering, offering stunning views and a memorable summit without requiring extensive experience.
How heavy is my pack?
Plan for 15 - 20 lbs during our approach to our highest camp which includes personal gear, water, and food for the day. We will have our lightest packs on the summit push, weighing between 10-15 lbs.
What boots do I need?
Hiking boots will be sufficient for this climb, make sure they will keep your feet warm as temperatures can get quite cold high on the mountain.
Who will be the guide?
We send an American guide on all of our international trips unlike most guide services. We've found that a guide that is fluent in English, properly trained, and fun to climb with makes all of the difference for a successful and safe trip to climb peaks in foregin countries. We'll connect you with your guide prior to the trip.
Is it safe?
Yes, climbing Kilimanjaro can be very safe if done correctly. We prioritize acclimatization and rest days, and your guide will always be by your side to ensure you are operating at your best.
Do I need vaccines?
Yes, a Yellow Fever vaccine is necessary to enter Tanzania and must be done no later than 10 days prior to departure. You can learn more about vaccination requirements here: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/tanzania https://www.us.tzembassy.go.tz/services/immunization https://www.passporthealthusa.com/destination-advice/tanzania/ Your International Vaccination Certificate must be taken with you. Anti-Malaria tablets are also necessary - please consult your pharmacist or physician.
