As part of Kilimanjaro SAR charitable foundation, they provide evacuation and medical treatment free of charge for guides, porters, all climbing support staff and park rangers as gratitude for their service.
Kilimanjaro Travel and Rescue Insurance:
The prices of the medical evacuation from the top of the mountain that is 5,900 ft above sea level would be tearing off your wallets. That is the reason it is recommended to purchase Kilimanjaro Travel and Rescue Insurance for your travel which covers emergency evacuation up to 6,000 metres above the sea level. As soon as you book the climb, Kilimanjaro Trek’s team will register a photocopy of your Kilimanjaro insurance and passport details with Kilimanjaro SAR, and they cooperate with the insurance company on your behalf.

FAQ’s
How dangerous is climbing Kilimanjaro?
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is not dangerous if you are following Kilimanjaro Helicopter Rescue Safety Protocols. The main dangers of Kilimanjaro are severe altitude sickness which can lead to serious complications. The shortness of breath at rest, inability to walk, decreasing mental alertness and a build-up of fluid on the lungs which can result in a gurgling sound when breathing. People with these symptoms must descend the mountain quickly or risk their life.
How many people climb Kilimanjaro every year?
Close to 35,000 people attempt to hike Mount Kilimanjaro every year — but only 40% of them report high Kilimanjaro Success Rate. Your chances of making it to the Uhuru Peak greatly increase the more time you spend acclimatizing to the altitude and hiking the mountain, though.
Is there cell service on Kilimanjaro?
Yes, cell phone services are available on Kilimanjaro. You can bring your phone for constant communication with your close ones. You can carry a power bank which will be a real help on top of mountain. However, the cellular networks are neither consistent nor reliable on mountain. There are some places you can signal and your guide will be able to help you with these details.

Here's What Some Of Our Awesome Customers Had To Say
We did a two weeks tour in Tanzania with safari and other activities like hikes, beach, boat trips...
We had planned the trip in advance with Gecko Adventure to find our personal best route and accommodations. They were very prompt, kompetent and helpful. We got the tour for a very fair price.
Our guide and driver Rama picked us up in Dar es Salaam and drove us all the way to Kilimanjaro. He did a great job, did everything to make us happy. He knows a lot about the animal and how to find them.
It was a wonderful experience with many highlights. The accommodations were very good, each with its special, personal flair and excellent food. The staff was extremely nice.
Gecko Adventure also organized a PCR test for us. We got the result exactly as planned.
We can only recommend Tanzania in these difficult times. It is like a paradise.
We can also only recommend Gecko Adventure. If we come back to Tanzania, we will book with them again.

Rama the owner is a very smooth communicator, and it’s easy to be very impressed with his handling of your booking and answering your questions, etc. But despite trusting him a lot, he completely scammed us.
Our first clue that something was amiss was when we tried to find the office that Rama claims to have. He told us specially what building his office was in (it’s also marked on Google maps in this prestigious location). The office does not exist.
Once we realized this, we asked to see the car that was “being repaired” as part of his story. This was the night before we were to leave on our trip. During the trip to see the car (which was honestly bring repaired as described, but based on its condition did not appear ready for departure the next day) we talked casually to him about our trip and how excited we were (that it was our honeymoon).
One hour after he returned us to our hotel, he sent a group WhatsApp text including an unknown person saying that his “business partner” (really just one of his drivers posing as his “partner”) was unsatisfied with the price Rama has agreed to and that the trip (which was to start the next day) would be 3x more expensive!! When I protested that we had agreed to a price weeks ago (Rama had gone so far as to specify what kind of USD bills to bring and I had sent him a picture of the bills laid out on a table), they refused to even acknowledge the deal they had agreed to. It was clear that they decided to take advantage of the information we had given them — that we were on our honeymoon- to try to extort us for 3x the price. How messed up is that?! The trip is now ruined and Rama has been increasingly dishonest in trying to justify this 3x price increase (we’re talking about thousands of dollars). It’s actually been quite embarrassing as Rama has repeatedly made new claims and I just keep responding with a screenshot of previous messages he sent contradicting his new lies. Avoid at all costs!!!

Very professional from start till the end!
All was planned and structured as we wanted it. We were part of the process from the start and they were also able to adapt to our wishes along the way.
The safari driver was excellent with huge knowledge about nature and animals and you could clearly feel his passion for the work he is doing and his respect towards the animals and nature.
This was not my first time on safari, but definitely one of the best ones

Everything was planned to the smallest detail. Nothing to worry about 👌 Would definitely recommend booking whatever through Kilimanjaro Trek Tanzania!
I don't have enough words to say how wonderful it was. Rama was incredible, quick with answers and willing to please our wishes. Our guide, called Rama too, was very pleasant, we learned a lot with him and we could really see that he made his best for us.

The trip was organized perfectly. Rama was always responsive and understanding of last minute tweaks to the itinerary, ensuring that we had the correct information every step of the way. I was very confident that the trip was going to go well before it started largely in part due to Rama's customer service leading up to it.
I couldn't be happier that we chose Kilimanjaro Trek for our safari, and highly recommend it!
