We arrange the climbs each and every day of the year for groups of any size, on any route; both private and open climbs. All groups are guaranteed to depart regardless of the number of participants. Your trip will never be canceled, and you will never be asked to pay more, even if you are the only person booked on the climb.
We climb Mount Kilimanjaro every day of the year and can schedule a climb with just 2 days’ notice for any booking group size. However, many climbers – particularly those traveling solo – prefer to join others who have already booked.
Selecting your preferred Kilimanjaro group climb is a breeze. We offer scheduled group departures throughout the year on a variety of routes, each with their own unique dates and features. To specify which climb suits you best, simply review our list of upcoming group expeditions and pick the group that matches your travel dates, desired route (like Machame, Lemosho, or Northern Circuit), and any special interests—such as Women Only Groups, Full Moon climbs, or holiday departures.
If you already have specific dates or a route in mind, just let us know when booking. Many of our trips are themed or timed to coincide with special events, such as International Women’s Day or the New Year, so you can easily align your adventure with an occasion that inspires you.
Not sure which departure to choose? Get in touch with your preferences—duration, route, travel timeframe, or special interests—and we’ll help you find the perfect group to join.
Rest assured, with expeditions leaving almost every week, there’s a great fit for every climber. Review the available options and reserve your spot on the group that’s right for you.
If you have a specific date in mind and would like others to join your expedition, we’re happy to make that happen. Simply let us know your preferred schedule, and we’ll create a new group for your chosen date—then publish it on our Kilimanjaro group join page to invite fellow climbers to join. To confirm your booking and get the group started, a non-refundable lifetime deposit of $300 USD per person is required.
When planning your Kilimanjaro adventure, you may want to customize your trip with a few extra comforts or support. Below are some of the optional services you can add, along with their associated costs:
These options allow you to tailor your journey to fit your preferences and ensure a more comfortable climb—so you can focus on the adventure ahead.
Reserving your place on a Kilimanjaro climb is straightforward:
Your initial deposit acts as a “lifetime ticket”—meaning that if you need to postpone due to unforeseen circumstances (such as travel bans or unexpected events), your deposit remains safe and available for whenever you’re ready to travel.
If you have specific dates in mind and would like us to create a new group around your schedule, we’re happy to set this up. We’ll open up your chosen dates to other interested travelers, making it easy for solo climbers or small parties to connect with others. All that’s needed is payment of your individual deposit to get started.
Prefer to keep things private? We also offer private climbs on any day of the year, tailored to your group size—no minimum number required.
Tipping your crew is an important tradition on Kilimanjaro, and it’s appreciated by everyone who helps make your adventure possible. It’s customary to tip the mountain staff as a group rather than individually. Here’s a general overview of what’s expected:
To keep things simple, all climbers in your group usually pool their tips and present them together at the end of the trek. For example, if you’re in a group of five, each person can contribute a portion so that the total matches the recommended amounts above. This ensures your team is thanked in a fair and organized way—no complicated calculations on the mountain necessary!
When planning your Kilimanjaro climb, it’s important to be aware of expenses that aren’t covered by the standard package. Here are some of the extra costs you should consider budgeting for:
By keeping these additional costs in mind, you’ll be able to plan and budget for a smooth and enjoyable Kilimanjaro adventure.
To secure your spot on any of our group Kilimanjaro climbs, simply reserve with a deposit of $300 per person. While this deposit is non-refundable, it remains valid for any future trip with us—so you have full flexibility to postpone or reschedule your adventure should your plans change.
If you prefer to have your own tent and hotel room during your Kilimanjaro climb, single supplements are available upon request. Simply let us know when you make your booking, and we will arrange private accommodations for you throughout your expedition. This option ensures additional privacy and comfort for solo travelers or anyone wishing for their own space during both the trek and hotel stays.
Before you lace up your boots and set off on your Kilimanjaro adventure, we’ll just need a few key details from you. Please be ready to share the following:
Having this information helps us ensure your registration goes smoothly and your place in the group is confirmed. Rest assured, your details are only used to coordinate your climb and keep you in the loop.
When preparing for your Kilimanjaro adventure, it’s essential to have the right personal gear for a safe and comfortable trek. If you don’t want to travel with bulky equipment or are missing some items, don’t worry—many essentials are readily available for rent once you arrive in Tanzania.
Some common gear you may need includes:
Rental costs are quite reasonable; for instance, sleeping bags and trekking poles are typically available for a modest fee per trip. This is a convenient option for travelers who’d rather not bring every item all the way from home.
With rentals sorted, you’ll be well equipped to focus on the adventure that awaits—without needing to check an extra suitcase just for gear.
Tips for your Kilimanjaro support crew—guides, cooks, and porters—are generally pooled together rather than handled individually. In group climbs, everyone chips in a fair share, so the total tips can then be properly divided among the entire crew. For instance, if you’re in a group of five, each person would typically contribute a set amount per day for the entire team. This method ensures that everyone who helps along the journey is recognized and rewarded, while also keeping things simple for climbers.
Safety is always our top priority on Kilimanjaro. Our group expedition packages provide comprehensive emergency support to give you peace of mind as you climb.
With these measures in place, you can focus on the adventure, knowing your safety is well cared for.
Your Kilimanjaro adventure includes comfortable hotel stays in Moshi (Kilimanjaro Home Of Travelers) both before and after your climb. You’ll enjoy two nights on a bed and breakfast basis, with double occupancy—giving you a relaxing place to unwind and regroup on either side of your mountain journey. These stays provide a convenient launch point for your trek, and a welcome retreat to rest and celebrate your success.
When making your reservation, simply specify the number of people in your climbing party during the booking process. Whether you’re venturing alone, with a partner, or as part of a larger group, just let us know how many climbers will be joining. This helps us arrange the right group and ensure everyone is accounted for on your adventure.
During your climb, you’ll enjoy three hearty and nutritious meals each day, freshly prepared on the mountain by our experienced cooks. Our menus are tailored to fuel you for trekking and are designed with climbers in mind. We’re happy to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs—including vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and non-vegetarian preferences—so you’ll always have meals that suit your taste and requirements. If you have specific food requests, just let us know in advance, and we’ll make sure you’re well taken care of throughout your journey.
After securing your spot with a deposit, the balance for your expedition is due 60 days prior to your scheduled arrival. This ensures everything is arranged for your Kilimanjaro adventure with time to spare for any last-minute preparations.
While not mandatory, securing comprehensive travel and medical insurance is strongly advised before embarking on your Kilimanjaro adventure. Popular providers like World Nomads, IMG, or Allianz offer coverage that includes high-altitude trekking, trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and evacuation services—essential for peace of mind on the mountain.
We recommend choosing a policy that specifically covers trekking up to 6,000 meters as well as emergency medical evacuation. Double-check your plan’s details to ensure all Kilimanjaro-specific activities are included, so you can focus on the summit rather than the “what-ifs.”
Before setting foot on Kilimanjaro, every traveler will need to ensure their documents and immunizations are in order. Most nationalities require a visa to enter Tanzania, which you can typically obtain on arrival—plan for a fee of US$50, though U.S. Passport holders should expect to pay US$100. It’s always wise to check current requirements with your local Tanzanian embassy or consulate before traveling.
As for health, Yellow Fever vaccination is mandatory only if you’re arriving from a country where Yellow Fever is present—otherwise, it’s not required. Vaccinations like Meningitis and Hepatitis A aren’t compulsory, but are strongly recommended to keep your adventure worry-free. Always consult your healthcare provider for personal recommendations, and remember, a little preparation goes a long way when trekking Africa’s highest peak.
We understand that travel plans can change unexpectedly—sometimes by choice, other times due to circumstances beyond your control (pandemics included). That’s why we offer a Lifetime Deposit policy.
Here’s how it works: your initial deposit for a confirmed tour is protected and never lost. If you need to postpone or cancel your trip for any reason, your deposit remains valid—whether you use it in a few months or a few years. There’s no expiration, no fuss. When you’re ready to reschedule, just apply your deposit to any future climb at your convenience. This way, you can plan your adventure with complete peace of mind, knowing your investment is secure, however long your journey takes to begin.

For those choosing a private climb up Kilimanjaro, you’re in for a seamless experience with plenty of support both on and off the mountain. Here’s what you can expect:

After tackling Kilimanjaro, many of our adventurers choose to celebrate their achievement with a little something extra. Whether you’re keen to soak up local culture, search for lions on the Serengeti, unwind on the white sands of Zanzibar, or create your own dream combination, there’s something for everyone.
Some popular post-climb options include:
Let us know how you’d like to celebrate your summit, and we’ll help you create the perfect extension to fit your style and schedule.
Private Kilimanjaro climbs are ideal for those who value flexibility and exclusivity on the mountain. Whether you’re planning an unforgettable adventure with your family, celebrating with a group of friends, organizing a unique corporate outing, or embarking on a fundraising trek, a private climb ensures a tailored experience just for your group. It’s also a popular choice for couples seeking a more personal journey—perfect for honeymooners or anyone looking to mark a special occasion in style.
If you’re looking for a more customized experience, private Kilimanjaro climbs are the way to go. With a private climb, you set your own schedule, pick your preferred route, and travel exclusively with your chosen companions—be it friends, family, colleagues, or even your adventurous other half. Everything revolves around your group’s pace and preferences, with no strangers joining your team.
Private climbs are particularly popular with families, charity groups, or anyone celebrating a milestone like a honeymoon or special occasion. Because you’re hiking with people you know, and the itinerary is tailored just for you, private climbs often see higher summit success rates. It’s the ultimate way to personalize your Kilimanjaro adventure, ensuring comfort, flexibility, and plenty of shared memories.
Our mission is to provide you with the best possible safari and trekking at the best possible price and to bring to you a unique and memorable African experience.
