Before you begin your Kilimanjaro adventure, it’s important to understand where you will stay before and during the climb. Your experience includes comfortable hotel accommodation before and after the trek, as well as high-quality mountain tents designed to handle the rugged conditions of Africa’s highest peak.

Pre-Climb & Post-Climb Hotels

Your journey starts with a relaxing night in a carefully selected hotel in Moshi or Arusha. These hotels offer a peaceful environment to rest, prepare your gear, and meet your guides. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with hot showers, Wi-Fi, and restaurants serving fresh meals. This pre-climb rest helps you adjust to the altitude and begin your trek in the best condition. After descending the mountain, you will return to the same hotel for a rewarding hot shower, soft bed, and celebration dinner.

Mountain Tents & Camping Experience

During the climb, your accommodation will be in four-season, weather-proof tents designed to protect you from wind, rain, and cold mountain nights. These tents are spacious enough for two climbers plus gear, keeping you warm and comfortable throughout the journey. Most operators also provide a private dining tent, complete with tables and chairs, where you enjoy freshly prepared meals by your mountain chef. For premium packages, you may also get private toilet tents for better comfort and hygiene.

Mountain Campsites

Kilimanjaro routes have designated public campsites equipped with ranger stations, basic toilets, and clear areas for pitching tents. These camps are placed at strategic altitudes to support proper acclimatization. Each evening, your crew sets up your tent, prepares dinner, and ensures your sleeping area is ready before you arrive. Nights on the mountain are peaceful and offer incredible views of the stars one of the most memorable parts of the Kilimanjaro experience.

Your Safety & Comfort First

Whether staying in a hotel or sleeping in mountain tents, your comfort and safety are a priority. All equipment is checked before every climb, and your crew ensures your tent is warm, dry, and secure. Combined with professional guides, nutritious meals, and proper acclimatization, you can focus entirely on enjoying the adventure ahead.
