      TravelerWritten November 2022

      After deep review I have a couple of questions please: 1. I went to your website, the 6 days Rongai does not include local transport before/after the climb while here it does "At the time you reach the gate your driver will have already arrived and waiting to take you back to your hotel in moshi" , can you please confirm if there is any pick-up or drop off included. 2. If I do the 2-days safari the day after my return from the peak, can I be droped off at Arusha and not Moshi (since departure for Safari is Arusha)?

    • Almighty KilimanjaroOperatorWritten November 2022

      The price here include pick up from your hotel to the rongai gate and back. Yes it's also possible to be dropped in Arusha after the safari instead of Moshi.
