Itinerary
Are You Ready for Kilimanjaro?
No technical climbing experience required! Kilimanjaro is a challenging high-altitude trek that requires strong physical fitness, endurance, and preparation. With the right training and mindset, it's an achievable goal for many active adventurers.
What's Included
From your arrival in Tanzania to your final descent from Kilimanjaro, here's what's covered and what you'll need to plan for separately.
*Tanzania requires mandatory inbound travel insurance ($44 USD per person) and a tourist visa ($100 USD for U.S. passport holders). Both can be arranged prior to departure through the official insurance portal and Tanzania eVisa portal. We recommend purchasing both in advance to avoid delays upon arrival.
For additional information on payments, cancellations, and trip requirements, please review our Expedition Policies.
