💡
Pro tip from our guides: The single biggest mistake climbers make is packing too heavy. Every extra kilogram will slow your summit attempt. Our porters carry a maximum of 20kg — you should carry only 8–12kg in your daypack. Less is more on Kilimanjaro.

Kilimanjaro Climb & Wilderness Safari FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are a few general FAQs that you need to know before travelling to Tanzania. If you can't find your answer here, please send us an email and we'll get back to you promptly.

What currency should I bring?
The US Dollar is widely accepted in Tanzania for tour payments, park fees and tips. Tanzanian Shillings (TZS) are useful for local purchases and markets. We recommend bringing a mix of both. ATMs are available in Arusha and major towns.
What vaccinations do I need?
Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from a yellow fever endemic country. We also strongly recommend vaccinations for typhoid, hepatitis A & B, meningitis and tetanus. Malaria prophylaxis is essential — consult your doctor or travel clinic at least 6 weeks before departure.
Which airport should I fly to?
For safaris and Kilimanjaro, fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) — 45 minutes from Arusha. For Zanzibar, fly into Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ). Nairobi (NBO) in Kenya is also a popular hub with many connections to both airports.
How can I pay the balance for my climb and safari?
We accept all major payment methods: credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), bank wire transfer, PayPal, and cash on arrival. A 30% deposit secures your booking; the balance is payable 30 days before departure. We also have a flexible cancellation policy for peace of mind.
Should I bring a first aid kit?
A personal first aid kit is highly recommended — include blister plasters, ibuprofen, anti-diarrhoea tablets, antiseptic cream and any personal prescription medicines. For Kilimanjaro, also pack altitude medication (Diamox) after consulting your doctor. Our guides also carry a group first aid kit on all climbs.
What is the weather like in Tanzania?
Tanzania has two dry seasons: June–October (cool & dry, best for wildlife) and January–February (hot & dry, calving season). Two rainy seasons are April–May (long rains) and November–December (short rains). Kilimanjaro temperatures range from 25°C at the base to below -15°C at the summit — even in July.
Can I visit a Maasai village after Kilimanjaro?
Absolutely! A Maasai village visit is one of the most rewarding experiences in Tanzania. We can arrange an authentic cultural visit near Arusha or the Ngorongoro area. You'll witness traditional dances, learn about Maasai customs and way of life, and have the opportunity to support the community directly.
How much is the tipping for supporting teams?
Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated. For Kilimanjaro, we recommend $20–25/day for your lead guide, $10–15/day for assistant guides, and $6–8/day for porters and cooks, split across the team. For safaris, $10–15/day per vehicle guide is standard. These are guidelines — tip what you feel reflects your experience.
