I love the sound of this tour. I've never climb before, also a smoker. I'm concerned I may not make the full climb

How many days do we climb, what fitness level do I have to be. Also. I am a smoker, will this cause more harm?

What airport will this trip start from just so I can look at booking my flights

Our tour guide John was super! We saw all the animals we anticipated for and many more in our 10 day Safari exploring Masai Mara and the other major Parks in Kenya, our accommodations were wonderful and all the meals were great, we had a great time. We appreciate the tour planner Grace for his quality and kind service. We recommend Gracepatt Ecotours to friends and any one looking forward to have a tour in Kenya.Show more

Our tour of Kenya and Tanzania was fabulous. Our two guides, Brian and Elly, were fun, friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. We shared a lot of laughs and developed a strong bond in our short time together, and we saw every animal we'd hoped to see (plus some) thanks to them. Gracepatt's customer service was excellent. They responded to emails in a timely manner, changed the schedule around a bit so that we could fly into and out of Nairobi, booked a hotel for the night we arrived without even being asked, and upgraded our accommodations. I'd highly recommend them in every respect.Show more

Had the pleasure of booking with Gracepatt Ecotours Kenya, December 2024. I cannot recommend them more highly. From Grace in the office to Samuel our personal guide everything was perfect. Grace answered any and all questions before, during and after our safari. She was a pleasure to deal with and always replied quickly. Our guide, Samuel, was truly amazing!! His knowledge base was incredible, and his patience unending, as we asked many questions from flora/fauna to culture, religion and politics. We had so much fun with him. One could tell he truly enjoys his job, as he seemed as excited as we were with all the sightings. This was my 4th safari (hopefully not my last), and first private one - and this ranks at the top. No one could go wrong booking with Gracepatt! Reach themShow more

  Traveler•Written June 2026
  How many days do we climb, what fitness level do I have to be. Also. I am a smoker, will this cause more harm?
- Gracepatt Ecotours KenyaOperator•Written June 2026
  You will spend 6days Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro through Machame Route.
  
  In terms of fitness, you do not need to be an elite athlete, but you should be able to hike for several hours a day on consecutive days while carrying a light daypack. Good cardiovascular fitness, leg strength, and endurance will make the climb much more enjoyable.
  
  Regarding smoking: being a smoker does not automatically prevent you from climbing Kilimanjaro, and many smokers have successfully reached the summit.\u00a0
  
  We recommend discussing your health with your doctor beforehand and, if possible, reducing or stopping smoking in the weeks or months leading up to the trek. The most important factors for success on Kilimanjaro are usually a sensible pace, proper acclimatization, hydration, and overall preparation rather than pure fitness alone.

  It would be for July 28, 2024. We could play plus or minus a few days if that makes any difference.

  July 28th 2023 is okay. Once you confirm your actual travel dates kindly keep us posted to set the right quote for safari
