Accommodation
& Centre Details |
| |
2 nights hotel, 8 nights camping.
Comfortable Hotel, Lodge or Gite – twin rooms with en suite facilities, reliable electricity and water supply, good service and some added amenities.
Full-service Camping – two person tents sometimes in a private or public campsite that contains a communal ablutions block and other amenities and sometimes in a wild camp with toilet tents and mess tent or dining equipment
provided. All camp chores are done for you from erecting / dismantling of your tent, to cooking & washing up.
Accommodation in Arusha is on a twin share basis with private facilities in a tourist class hotel.
On the Kilimanjaro climb we camp on a twin share basis in spacious two-person tents with sewn-in groundsheets and separate flysheets.
There is a large communal tent, which is used for dining and at other times in the event of inclement weather. A limited number of single rooms are available in the hotel and single tents are available on Kilimanjaro. These must be prebooked
in London before the trip commences. Private toilet tents are provided, since the standard of the provided toilets are rather low.
Full Service Trekking
The Kilimanjaro climb is based on full service camping, so you need only carry your daypack during the walks. Local porters carry all other baggage and equipment and cooking and camp work is their responsibility. All communal camping and kitchen equipment is provided and local staff takes care of all the other chores, including erecting and taking down the tents.
Single Accommodation
A single supplement is available for this tour, the cost is £85 and applies to both the tent and hotel nights. |
