    Regarding your question, on the trek you will stay in non-heated, wooden A-frame huts with simple, single beds that have thin mattresses. There is no electricity so headlamps are essential. Be prepared to possibly share a hut with members of the opposite sex. Your third sleep, before your summit hike, will be at the most basic of the shelters. This structure has many bunk beds, shared with several other hikers. With the altitude, the shelters do get very cold. For added comfort and insulation, you may consider bringing your own sleeping mat to lay on top of the provided mattresses. Please provide your own sleeping bag and pillow. All huts have shared toilet and bathing facilities.

  What vaccinations are required, visa requirements from Australia, tipping, is gratitude included in the price, or is there an actual dollar amount expected to be given or just tip a fair amount, with no expectation. We're a father and daughter hiking together, what is the hut's accommodation/sleeping arrangements.

  Why do you have different charges for different routes if all are reaching the same peak? Which route is the easiest?

    There are a few routes to the top of Kilimanjaro, and you would need to decide which route is best for you. Each route offers different tracks and views. I understand the easiest route is the Marangu Route, but its still pretty tough.

    August is one of the best times to climb due to the weather at that time of year, however that also means it is one of the more popular and therefore busier times on the mountain. We can add extra nights of accommodation onto your booking before and after the tour itself to make the experience better for you.

    Is it possible to book a private tour for 2 people? We arrive at 17 august in the evening at Kilimanjaro airport so would like to start on 18 august. If it is possible what are the extra fees?
