Kiliwarriors

Packages & Pricing

On every Kiliwarrior climb

Whichever package you pick

Two things are never an upgrade, never an extra, and never depend on which route or package you choose.

Every dietary requirement, catered

Allergies, religious restrictions, vegans, vegetarians — our highly trained chefs handle all of it, and switching to a special meal plan costs you nothing. All our food is cooked fresh, and we resupply on the mountain every 2 days so you are eating properly for the whole climb.

AllergiesReligious VeganVegetarian Gluten-freeLactose-free

Emergency equipment, carried and trained on

Our climbing team carries emergency safety equipment up the mountain and has been trained to use it. Not a kit left in a vehicle at the gate — it walks with you, every day, on every route.

Packages 2026

Standard or All-Inclusive?

Same guides. Same tents. Same food. Same hotel. Every climber gets the identical mountain operation either way — the All-Inclusive package adds five things, and that is the whole difference.

The five things

Everything the All-Inclusive adds
Only in All-Inclusive
Standard
All-Incl.
Personal daypack porter
A porter whose only job is your daypack. Take it from day one, or carry your own and hand it over when the air gets thin — there's no set moment. Popular with photographers and filmmakers who want their hands free, and anyone working around knee or leg trouble.
Sleeping bag
Marmot Trestles Elite 0, rated to −18 °C. Synthetic, because down fails in Kilimanjaro's humidity. Cleaned and sanitized after every expedition.
Trekking poles
A set for the expedition — worth having on the way up, worth more on the way down.
Duffel bag
Handed to you at the gear check the day before the climb, to pack your kit into. This is the bag our team carries for you from camp to camp.
Safety helmetWestern Breach only
Worn on the morning of summit day. Not needed on the Northern Circuit, Lemosho Barafu or Machame routes.

These five are provided for your climb, not purchases — the gear is ours and stays with the expedition. What you do take home: your Kiliwarrior hat, shirt and park map, included in both packages.

In both packages

No difference — you get all of this either way
All airport and mountain transfers

We've got your transportation covered, start to finish.

When you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our team will meet you and take you straight to your hotel in Arusha. You'll ride in comfort with complimentary bottled water.

For your climb, we use Land Cruisers or Coaster buses (based on your group size) — vehicles built to crush the rugged terrain.

When your adventure wraps up, we'll get you back to the airport on time and stress-free.

No headaches. No guesswork. Just seamless transfers so you can focus on conquering Kilimanjaro.

Mountain equipment and camp setup

We don't just climb Kilimanjaro — we redefine the experience with top-tier gear and unmatched comfort at every camp.

Mountain Hardwear Trango 4 tents
  • Engineered for the toughest weather on Kilimanjaro — wind, rain, or cold.
  • Originally designed for 4 people with gear stored outside. We optimize the experience by comfortably housing 2 climbers inside, along with their mattresses, pillows, and duffel bags — unmatched space and comfort for a better rest.
  • Need repairs on the climb? No problem. We've got a dedicated crew ready to handle zippers or wear and tear on the spot.
Mountain Hardwear Space Station mess tents
  • The ultimate dining and gathering tent — spacious, durable, and built for extreme conditions.
  • Wind- and rainproof, providing a comfortable, sheltered space to relax, socialize, and enjoy your meals no matter the weather.
  • Fully equipped with camping tables, comfortable folding chairs, and plenty of room to stretch out after a long day.
Comfortable sleeping setup
  • Sleep like royalty with 4-inch foam mattresses and plush pillows.
  • Designed for ultimate relaxation after a long day of trekking.
  • We provide hot water bottles if you'd like to keep warmer through the night.
Handwashing station
  • Hot water, regularly replenished, ensures you stay clean and refreshed throughout your climb.
Gear maintenance
  • We inspect all equipment before the climb, and if something comes up during the trek, we fix it — no waiting, no compromise.

We use the best equipment available because you deserve to focus on the climb, not worry about your comfort or safety. This isn't just camping — it's luxury at 19,000 feet.

All meals on the mountain

Your energy and nutrition are top priorities. That's why we've designed a dining experience that keeps you fueled, satisfied, and ready to conquer Kilimanjaro. No compromises.

Expert-designed menu
  • Our mountain chefs and waitstaff serve you breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of your climb.
  • The menu, developed in consultation with a professional dietitian, delivers delicious, energy-packed meals to meet the physical demands of high-altitude trekking.
Special dietary needs? We've got you covered.
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free — whatever your dietary preference, we can accommodate it.
  • Switching to a special meal plan won't cost you a thing. Just let us know in advance, and our chefs will make sure you have exactly what you need.

For a closer look, see our sample menu. It's a sample and may not reflect your dietary restrictions, but it gives you an idea of the amount of food and variety you can expect.

Fresh, organic ingredients
  • We source organic fruits, vegetables, and meats from small local farms near Kilimanjaro and Arusha. Fresh, high-quality ingredients make all the difference, and support the local economy at the same time.
Tribal Cafe kickoff lunch
  • Your first lunch, served before reaching camp on Day 1, is prepared by our chefs at Tribal Cafe and packed for the adventure ahead.
Mountain kitchen, great quality
  • All meals are prepared in challenging high-altitude environments, often with unpredictable weather.
  • Our chefs work with a camping gas oven and portable cooking gear, delivering meals that are warm, delicious, and restorative, no matter the conditions.

Your job? Eat, fuel up, and climb. We'll take care of the rest.

Professional guides and team

You're in the best hands with our team. We don't just have guides — we have elite professionals who are experts in their field. Most members have been with us for over 10 years. Since 2004, we've built a legacy of excellence on Kilimanjaro, and we train and develop our own guides from the ground up. This isn't just a job for us, it's our passion.

Our guides aren't just experienced — they're masters of the mountain. Each has at least 7 years of Kilimanjaro experience, leading expeditions for celebrities, YouTubers, and adventurers alike. We've organized the world's highest half, full, and ultra marathons, earning 3 Guinness World Records.

Your safety is non-negotiable. Every guide holds a fully licensed Mountain Guide Diploma, with expert knowledge in wildlife management and the flora and fauna of East Africa. They're also certified First Aid Responders from the Tanzania Red Cross Society.

All of our guides are fluent in English, Swahili, and Maasai, so communication is never an issue.

Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP)

We are a certified member of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project, an independent organization advocating for the fair treatment of porters on Kilimanjaro. This certification ensures we uphold the highest standards of fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect for our porters.

Pioneering diversity

We're proud to be one of the first companies to actively hire women guides and staff. Over the past 3–4 years we've made a conscious effort to employ female guides, chefs, and waitstaff. We believe having women on our teams is vital to a more diverse and inclusive Kilimanjaro experience.

Oxygen cylinders

We carry bottled oxygen on every Kilimanjaro expedition, but it is only used in emergency situations. Unlike Everest, where supplemental oxygen is needed to reach the summit, our oxygen is strictly for addressing Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).

If a climber shows symptoms of AMS, oxygen is administered to stabilize their condition and facilitate a safe descent to lower altitudes.

Our guides are well-trained in AMS management, and the oxygen is only used as a last resort. The focus stays on prevention and proper acclimatization throughout the trek.

Twice-daily medical check-ups

Every morning and evening, our certified, wilderness-trained guides conduct mandatory medical check-ups for all hikers and crew. These are not optional. We measure your oxygen levels, ask about your health, and check for signs of altitude sickness. Even if you feel fine, these checks are critical to catching AMS early.

Our guides are the decision-makers. They decide if an evacuation is necessary. They've got the training, the experience, and the authority to make that call.

We've also got you covered if you have specific health conditions like diabetes or asthma. We don't treat everyone the same — we tailor our approach to make sure you get the support you need.

We keep a detailed medical record for each climber throughout the climb. If you need to be hospitalized, this record ensures medical professionals have everything they need. Your personal information stays confidential, shared only with medical personnel if necessary.

All national park fees and taxes

We believe in transparency, integrity, and doing things the right way. When you book with us, everything is included — park fees, camping fees, conservation fees, rescue fees, crew fees, forest fees (on certain routes), and more. We don't cut corners or hide behind fine print.

We've employed over 150 local people in a single month. Your adventure directly supports the livelihoods of these hardworking individuals and contributes to the local community.

Hotel — Mount Meru Hotel, Arusha

Both packages include Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha — 2 nights before your climb and 1 night after, with breakfast.

An optional hotel upgrade to Gran Melia Arusha is available: $400 per person on double occupancy, or $600 on single occupancy. Just let us know if you'd like it.

Support team, before and during

Preparing for a Kilimanjaro climb is a big deal, and we've got your back. You'll have Tom, our manager, at your disposal to answer any questions and get you all the details over the phone.

Once you land in Tanzania, a dedicated client representative is ready to help with anything you need — where to buy something, a forgotten item, booking a day trip, or any last-minute detail. From the moment you book right through to the end of your climb, we're all in.

Daily social media updates

We post daily updates on Facebook and Instagram Stories so your friends and family can follow your journey while you're on the mountain, where there's no internet. If you don't want to be part of these updates, no problem — we'll respect that.

Safe room and luggage storage

Before your climb, you can safely store your luggage at the hotel. Fill out some paperwork and receive a storage receipt, and the hotel stores your belongings in a locked, secure room. After your climb, check in and present your receipt — the hotel porter brings your luggage right to your room.

Leave No Trace cleanup

We don't just climb Kilimanjaro — we make sure we leave it better than we found it. A dedicated team ensures all waste is packed out, and they pick up litter left by others too.

Each year we send our team up the mountain without guest climbers to clean the trails, including the challenging Western Breach route, where we've pioneered cleanup efforts in the industry.

Kiliwarrior hat, shirt and park map

At your climbing briefing the day before your expedition, we hand you a top-quality Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park map to help you visualize the journey ahead.

We also partner with SaviFoot to give you a free embroidered Kiliwarrior Expeditions baseball hat and a free red SaviFoot sport shirt. These aren't your average souvenirs — they're high-quality gear that stands up to the rigors of the climb.

In neither

Plan for these separately
Lunch and dinner in Arusha

Breakfast is included at the hotel, but lunch and dinner are on you. You can purchase these at the hotel's restaurant and pay however you'd like — cash or credit card.

Local transport in Arusha

Speak to your client representative if you need any help while you're in Tanzania. If need be, we can assist you with whatever you may need, although this isn't included in our pricing. You may need to cover small expenses such as driver or fuel for our vehicles. Whatever it is, we're still here to help and make sure it's at minimal cost.

Personal gear and clothing

We don't supply your personal gear like hiking boots, pants, jackets, and other essentials. We'll provide a packing list when you register, and you can review it with our manager anytime as you prep for the climb.

If you forget anything essential, we'll go with you to get it the day before the climb, at the gear check and climbing briefing.

Tanzania visa

You can get your visa either in person (which we really recommend) or online through Tanzania's E-Visa website. When you register, we'll send you a full guide to make it simple.

Flights to and from Tanzania

We don't handle flights. Climbers come from all over the globe. Just show up on the dates in the itinerary and we'll handle the rest — we'll pick you up at the airport when you arrive and drop you off when you leave. Popular options: KLM, Qatar Airways.

Tips to the Kiliwarrior team

We're proud members of KPAP, and we recommend tipping a minimum of $300 USD on our 7-day climbs and $400 USD on our 9-day climbs. This goes to the incredible team that supports you every step of the way.

Travel and medical insurance

We highly recommend travel and medical insurance to cover any medical expenses or trip cancellations. The insurance should cover up to 6,000 m above sea level. We'll provide options for you to compare when you register with us.

Souvenirs and extras

Want to pick up some keepsakes? Talk to your client representative and they'll help you out. It's best to use Tanzanian Shillings (Tsh), but USD and EUR are generally accepted.

Avoid bringing Canadian dollars — they won't be accepted. If you bring USD, bring smaller denominations and make sure your bills are from 2013 or later.
