FAQs

Generally, the best times to climb Kilimanjaro are during Tanzania's two dry seasons: January to middle March or June to October. Climbing weather is more predictable at these times, with clearer skies and milder temperatures that are perfect for hiking. Pathways become slippery, and even visibility can be poor in the rainy months due to heavy cloud cover. However, adventurous hikers sometimes enjoy quieter trails and lush surroundings in off-peak periods. Ultimately, the best time depends on your personal preferences and schedule. We can help tailor your climb to ensure you have an unforgettable, safe experience.
Climbing Kilimanjaro requires a moderate level of fitness, but you don't have to be a professional athlete to make it up. A suggested cardiovascular endurance training program would consist of leg strengthening as well as mental preparation. A regular hike, run, or cycle schedule would have your body accustomed to the demands of a trek. Remember, though, that altitude plays differently on individuals, so just because you were fit to begin with, the acclimatization days and a moderate pace are quite essential. Our trained guides will be with you throughout the journey to support and boost your morale, always keeping an eye on your safety, too. Beforehand training increases the probability of a safe and successful summit.
When climbing Kilimanjaro, one finds several accommodation facilities, which vary depending on the route taken. Climbers spend a lot of their time in tents at campsites along the routes which establish this magnificent mountain. Our dedicated team sets up comfortable tents and provides sleeping mats so that you sleep well at night. On the Marangu route, there are shared huts with bunk beds, which is a more sheltered option when the weather gets bad. All of the staff will set up and break down the camp so you can focus on climbing. We also provide dining tents where nourishing meals are served, ensuring you remain energized and prepared throughout your journey.
Yes, climbing Kilimanjaro requires permits, and we include those in all of our packages. The money from the fees is used for conservation, infrastructure upkeep, and wages for park rangers who work to protect the mountain. We take care of the permit process for you and ensure that everything is ready to go before you arrive. This way, you can focus on preparing for your adventure and enjoying the experience once you start your trek. Our staff works closely with park authorities to ensure compliance with guidelines, regulations, and safety standards. By obtaining the correct permits, we help preserve Kilimanjaro's natural beauty for future generations.
