Medical Preparedness

Climbing Kilimanjaro requires physical exertion and stamina.  It is recommended that each client meet with their physician to determine their personal health level. Clients should confirm that their physical health and any other health issues are conducive to this type of activity. If planning to take Diamox for high altitude, consult with your doctor to ensure it will not interfere with any other medication you are presently taking.   To properly prepare our Staff for your trek, it is the clients responsibility to inform Climb Kili prior to your booking if you have any pre-existing medical conditions including but not limited to:

  • Respiratory Issues
  • Heart Condition
  • Asthma
  • Diabetes

  • 30 to 60 Days–$100 rebooking fee

Single/Solo Supplement

If you are a single client traveling alone, Climb Kili will match you with a roommate of the same gender.  If you are the odd numbered person in a group and no pairing can be made, you will receive the hotel room and tent to yourself at no cost.

If you prefer to have your own hotel room and tent along the expedition, please let us know.

Impossibility

Any Climb Kili itinerary is subject to termination without liability upon the occurrence of any circumstance beyond our control.  Reasons for cancellation could be unforeseen circumstances related to weather, natural disaster, government regulations or other safety situations.  Unforeseen additional costs incurred or imposed are the responsibility of the client.

Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk

Climb Kili customizes your Welcome Package with equipment specifications and a personalized fitness program with the expectation that our clients are physically and mentally prepared with the right equipment to climb Kilimanjaro. Climb Kili and any of its staff reserve the option to dismiss a client if they become detrimental to themselves or the group.  Climb Kili will demonstrate the highest level of safety, care, and concern with our clients and their belongings, but cannot be held liable for any damage, loss, or personal injury.  As there is an element of risk with high altitude trekking, the client agrees to assume all risks associated with the trip and agree that no liability will be attached to the company, guides or any employee or associates of Climb Kili.  To insure such circumstances, we strongly recommend purchasing third party travel insurance.
