Frequently Asked Questions
This is a trip of a lifetime and we know there are many things you’d like to know more about.
What level of experience is required to climb Kilimanjaro?
No specialist equipment or climbing experience is required to reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The routes taken to reach the summit do not require technical climbing skills, only some scrambling at times and the use of hands and feet.
The most important preparation is that which involves getting used to carrying your own day pack (3-4kg of weight) and using your trekking boots so they do not cause pain or blisters. Other than that, mental preparation is key. The final 600 vertical meters to reach the summit are very challenging and require enormous resolve, however strong or experienced you may be.
While we cannot guarantee that you will summit, we can assure you that the team know how best to exploit your strengths and fortify them at times of weakness, and will offer the greatest summit opportunity possible. Being among likeminded our Male Guides and Female Guides and Porters climbers whole Team from Us, you will be among supportive friends.
To physically prepare for the climb, an above average level of fitness is strongly advised. Begin training at least 3 months before the climb, unless you have a particularly active lifestyle. Jogging two or three times a week for 40 minutes is recommended as is a long hilly walk (5-8 hours) with a 12 or 15 kg rucksack every two to three weeks in your own Daypack bag.
How can I prevent altitude sickness
Altitude sickness will be your biggest enemy on the mountain. While we have chosen a route that allows for a few days of acclimatisation, you won’t how your body reacts to it until you are there, because every person is different. Your level of fitness will not predict how well you will perform.
You can make an appointment with your doctor to get altitude sickness medication which can be taken as a preventative measure and the team will carry emergency oxygen should you need to be evacuated. The trip price includes helicopter evacuation coverage in case you need to descend urgently to safety.
What if I cannot travel because of COVID restrictions?
Payments are non-refundable, this is why we require all guests to purchase travel insurance that covers unforeseen circumstances which would prevent them from traveling.
In the event that the trip needs to be postponed for reasons beyond our control, any payments made will be put towards a similar itinerary in the future.
What are the COVID measures in Tanzania and how will you ensure everyone is safe?
We care deeply about the wellbeing of our guests and our trip follows all local regulations. We require our guests to be fully vaccinated to join the tour so that we ensure the safety of everyone on the trip.
A Kilimanjaro climb is uniquely designed for social distancing and isolation as it guarantee that you will only be interacting with the other guests in your group and with the guides and porters always in an open space
What is included in the trip?
This trip is full board, that means all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks) are part of the itinerary cost. The trip cost also includes a porter per climber to carry your equipment, porters to carry tents and other equipment tools, cooks and guides they will bE care wit you.
All park and conservation fees are included as are the permits to climb Kilimanjaro. We have also included helicopter rescue insurance coverage for 2 weeks starting on arrival in the country. Sleeping arrangements with tents and foam mattresses and portable toilets are also part of the equipment.
We pay all porters and guides fair daily rates as established by the Kilimanjaro Porters Association ( KPA ) and provide 3 nutritious meals per a day to the entire crew and separate male and female guides to facilities for the team.

Will the guides be Male Or female?
Yes, this trip will be be an all of them either Male Guide Or -Female Guide Team and a majority Male and female porters team and is specifically designed to bring together likeminded Mens with womens to summit on this special day.
Note that there will be between 50 and 100 support staff between guides, porters, cooks, etc. depending on the number of guests and given the limited number of female porters in Tanzania, we cannot guarantee that all the porters will be Men or female bit they be mixes. We will however hire all the available Male or Female porters on the mountain. We are the ONLY company doing this on Kilimanjaro despite many making claims.
How does this trip help local communities in Tanzania?
We believe that travel can be a force for good and believe that we can make a difference by providing employment opportunities to Men’s women’s in tourism Sectors in the communities we visit.
For this trip, we have partnered with the Tanzania Men Guide from His Experience Tour Programs in Different Companies as he worked on 15 yeas before Starting his own Company.. The Rashid Khamis Mbarouk Founder – CEO Owner Manager Director of the Company GlossyAdventures is Founded on August 9 in 2016 to be Established Registered Office’s Travel Company Compeletely. Founded and Managed by our Leader Guide , Rashid Khamis Mbarouk the Company Founded and heself are committed to the development of men in tourism business industry in Tanzania and focuses on supporting more mens and womens in Tourism Sectors become certified adventures tourism guides from TanzaniaNational Parks provide him a certificate of guidelinethe tourists customers around the World.
Rashid Khamis Mbarouk can be credited with supporting, financially, emotionally and with training, 39 out of the 50 Male and Female guides that currently work on Kilimanjaro and about half of the Male and Female Porters. Since 2012, he spends time every year helping more Mens and Women’s become certified guides by preparing them for the course and helping them get the financial support they need to pay for the tuition, books and accommodation, which comes to about $500 per a guide.
But he work does not end there. Once certified, he helps them find jobs, offers them to train under he and practice their skills and then supports them professionally. On our Treks, we will also engage the services of trainee guides so hey can get real life experience.
Rashid Khamis Mbarouk is an inspiration to all our guests and sharing this moment with her is a true honor, not to mention that he has summited Kili more than 201 times to reach the be Mark of Uhuru Peaks!
What medication do I need to take for a trip to Tanzania
You should make an appointment with your doctor to confirm any travel inoculations and other medications that you may need to take before and during the trip, including those to prevent malaria or yellow fever or those for altitude sickness. If your onward travel includes other African nations, you may also require a Yellow Fever certificate, you can check the CDC website for more details.
What luggage should I take?
When climbing the mountain, climbers will need two luggage bags, preferably a large duffel/cargo bag and a smaller, lighter day sack, between 15 – 35 liters size. The porters will carry the larger duffel/cargo bag, while climbers carry their day sack themselves.
The day pack needs to be comfortable, durable and big enough to hold everything a climber may need with them when walking, as it is unlikely that they will see their main bag from the moment they break camp in the morning to the time they arrive at camp in the evening.
Day Packs and larger bags are available for hire if you do not have access to such, or would prefer not to take your own bags to the mountain. In an attempt to reduce the waste and rubbish on the mountain, the Kilimanjaro National Park Authority have now decreed that climbers must have their own trekking water bottles / containers for their trek and are required to decant any bottled water into them prior to progressing through the entry gate.
What should I pack in my day bag?
Items a you would potentially carry in you day pack: Sweets, Water (3 liters water carrying capacity — bladder system, with insulated hose, recommended, or water bottles), Camera, Sun hat/sun glasses and sun cream, Travel Pack Toilet Tissues and Wet Wipes, Waterproof jacket and trousers, Thin warm layer for any prolonged stops, Walking poles — if preferring to use them, Small personal Medical kit, including chapstick, for ready access and non-altitude specific medicines (guides will be carrying a much more comprehensive medical kit.)
What should I pack in my large bag?
The porters will carry the larger duffel/cargo bag, which will contain a climber’s other personal equipment and clothing for their time on the mountain. This large duffel/cargo bag does not need to have shoulder straps (in the form of a rucksack) as the porters will either carry this large bag on their shoulders or head. The porters will have their own rucksack for their personal and company gear.
Whatever ‘luggage container’ you bring to the mountain needs to be adequately waterproofed, or have a waterproof cover. As well as providing waterproofing for the ‘containers’ themselves, it is advisable to further waterproof the items inside them by means of using a liner inside the container.
Given the terrain that climbers will be walking in, the ‘luggage containers’ can suffer wear and tear. You can expect that at the end of a trekking day a porter will lower the luggage he has been carrying on her head to the floor. Sometimes, even with care applied, this luggage will end up being dropped and possibly torn against the volcanic rocks, with possible damage also being caused to possessions inside the bag that are not adequately protected.
The Kilimanjaro National Park has a maximum carrying weight per porter of 25 kg /50 lbs, which includes the porter’s company and personal gear, which is approximately 5 kg /11 lbs, plus 5 kg / 11 lbs of company gear. Thus, the load they carry for the climber should not exceed 15 kg / 33 lbs.
What happens if I get sick?
The prospect of getting sick while alone in a foreign country is daunting, and this is why we require all our guests have comprehensive travel and medical insurance that includes international evacuation. Should you fall sick, our local partner’s team will escort you to the nearest medical facility so you can get the help you need, and will stay with you if needed.
Your trip cost includes helicopter mountain rescue insurance valid for 14 days from arrival in Tanzania and would cover you in case you needed to be rescued from the mountain and taken down to safety because of accident or altitude sickness
What travel insurance should I get?
We recommend you get the most comprehensive travel and medical insurance that would cover you in the event that you need to be evacuated to aTanzania , Uganda in Kampala, Entebbe, and Nairobi Kenya or back home. We recommend checking with an aggregator such as Travel Insurance Master to compare quotes and coverages.
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
All travelers to Tanzania need a visa which can now be obtained online on this link. We strongly recommend that you apply at least 3 weeks in advance of your trip. If you do not manage to obtain a visa online before your trip, you may also get one on arrival at Tanzania Airport , But expect to queue for up to 2h to get it sorted.
Can I make various instalments for this trip?
Our payment plan includes 2 instalments: A 30% Deposit in our Bank Account Card and the Balance payment 120 days before departure Start. You may make additional payments between the 2 instalments.
Can I pay by Credit card Or Visa MasterCard , Paypol and Wire Transfer?
Yes, We are Accepted All
Will the Lodges and Camps have WiFi?
All the accommodation we will be staying at during your extension has Free Online Wi-Fi but in most cases this is only available at the main common areas ‘Sometime , Or may be limited in speed and bandwidth. This is because camps try to keep impact to a minimum and because connection in the bush is challenging sometimes.
There is barely any signal in Kilimanjaro except for the times when it is mentioned in the itinerary. We invite you to take this opportunity to be in the moment and disconnect from your always-on life maybe if you keep VPN from your Country to Tanzania for balance Internet when your want to be online everytime? If the Safari there a WiFi in the Lodges some of areas.
