GOOD TO KNOW

Practical details

This tour takes place in Moshi, not Arusha. Walking surfaces can be uneven and markets busy. Confirm dietary needs and walking limitations in advance. Kilimanjaro views depend on cloud and visibility; no mountain view is promised.

Tell me about food preferences, walking pace and access needs when you enquire. We’ll agree any changes to the route and price before you confirm.
