ⓘ Travel Notice:

This trek is of intermediate difficulty and suitable for travellers aged 16 to 70 with good health. It is not recommended for children under 16, pregnant travellers (especially late-term), or those with serious health conditions or disabilities.

ⓘ Passports:

Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel date. Booking details must match your passport exactly.

ⓘ Visas:

Visa requirements vary. It's your responsibility to check and obtain the correct visas for both your destination and any transit countries.

ⓘ Yellow Fever:

Required only if arriving from or transiting through Yellow Fever–risk countries (e.g., Kenya, Ethiopia). A valid Yellow Fever certificate or doctor’s exemption letter is needed.

ⓘ Malaria:

Malaria is present in Tanzania. Please consult your doctor or travel clinic for appropriate antimalarial medication.

ⓘ Altitude Awareness:

Acclimatisation is key to avoid altitude sickness—especially for Kilimanjaro treks.

ⓘ Mountain Trekking Advisory:

Trekking at high altitudes requires prior medical clearance. Do not attempt if you have respiratory issues, heart conditions, diabetes, or other serious health concerns—this can be dangerous. Written GP approval is required for any health conditions. Please inform us of any physical disabilities. Reading up on altitude and tropical illnesses is strongly advised.

ⓘ Health & Safety Essentials:

Bring essential medications, personal medical documents, and insect repellent. It’s highly recommended to consult your doctor before travel.

ⓘ Food & Water:

Lodges and camps offer good-quality meals. Avoid tap water—bottled water is widely available. Please inform us of any dietary needs or allergies (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) at the time of booking. For gluten-free diets, bringing your own snacks is recommended.

ⓘ Electricity & Gear:

Most lodges run on generators, often limited to a few hours daily. Bring a flashlight and spare batteries. Tanzania uses 220–240V, 50Hz power with UK-style 3-pin plugs. If your devices aren't dual voltage, bring a converter. For CPAP users, some camps may charge extra for full-night generator use. Not all accommodations provide hairdryers—bring your own if needed.

ⓘ Tipping:

Tipping is customary in Tanzania, especially for private safaris and treks. It’s best to tip at the end of the trip, directly to your guide or staff. Many lodges also offer a tip box at reception.

ⓘ Plastic Bag Ban:

Since June 1, 2019, Tanzania has banned plastic/polythene bags to protect the environment. Please avoid bringing them. Ziplock bags for personal use are allowed, but must not be discarded in the country.
