What’s included in the price… and what’s not
We are sure that you’ll find our prices very reasonable. Please note that they are
not the absolute cheapest: our policy towards the welfare of porters and our dedication
to a high standard of service means that our prices will never be rock bottom. Nevertheless,
a brief search of the Internet will hopefully convince you that our prices are amongst
the best value on the mountain.
What’s included…
- A copy of the book to help you prepare for your trip before you arrive in Tanzania
- Transfers to/from Kilimanjaro International or Arusha airports
- Two nights in a hotel on B&B basis (usually, but not necessarily, one before the
trek and one after).
- Transfers to/from the mountain at the start/end of the trek
- All park, camping and rescue fees and permits whilst on the mountain
- All camping equipment (save for those items specified below),

…and what’s not
