It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.

During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.

Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.

Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.

If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.

While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.

Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.

But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.

But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.

We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain

Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.

Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.

Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.

If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.

Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.

Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey

Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain

list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.

A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.
We are trained for medical emergencies and ensure that our Guides are up to date with new regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain

Our guides are continually enhancing their knowledge, ensuring we deliver not only the safest but also the most exceptional experience for you. Should we deem it in your best interest to leave the mountain, depending on the severity of the situation, there are a few options:
- Airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter
- Walking with a guide and porter down to the next camp (as you descend, you start to feel much better as you are able to get more air into your lungs) at camp we will assess you again and determine if we need to take you off the mountain
- Transported on a wheeled stretcher with a guide and porters down to the next camp, or off the mountain
A note about being airlifted off the mountain. We have heard that guides from other companies are suggesting that their clients are airlifted off the mountain and in return, they get a kickback from the helicopter crew for using their services. Please be aware that we will only ever suggest this option if it is absolutely necessary for your health and safety and we will NEVER take money for this option. You will need to pay out of pocket to get airlifted off the mountain (approximately $3,000) and the pilot will stay with you in the hospital until you pay. You will then need to work with your travel insurance to make a claim and get reiumbursed. You will have one of our guides with you who will help with translation at the hospital.
After the climb
If you’re feeling unwell after the climb, please let us know and we will arrange a doctor to visit you, or take you to the hospital.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey
Overall, we want you to have an enjoyable adventure, but not if that means your health and safety suffers as a result. We know that it can be upsetting coming all this way, having trained for months, only to find that you can’t summit. But in our opinion, whilst it is exciting to get to the top and have your photo taken, enjoying the journey, is every bit as important as arriving at the destination.
Before the climb
Before the climb we will send you a form to complete with all of your medical conditions and any medications you might be taking (and what they’re for).
We will also send you a detailed
list of equipment that you will need to bring with you on the climb. If you do not have some of these items, we can arrange for them to be rented from a reputable company in Moshi, just let us know.
During the climb
During the climb, we follow the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness Scoring System. Each morning and night, we take your oxygen levels, using a Pulse Oximeter and discuss how you’re feeling (headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness/light-headedness). We also have systems in place for safe high altitude trekking (such as climb high, sleep low). And we always carry oxygen cylinders for emergencies.

Your health and safety are our priority
Your health and safety are paramount to us. And so are our Porters and Guides. We’ve witnessed too many times people get injured, or worse. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is easier than climbing Mount Everest or other mountains of the world, at least 10 people die each year on the mountain and it is important to be aware of the risks. Being aware is to be prepared. Approximately 1,000 climbers are airlifted off the mountain each year and you’ll hear helicopters circling as you climb. Most deaths are due to altitude sickness and heart attacks brought on by pre-existing medical conditions. So it is very important that you let us know of any medical conditions you have, before the climb.
