We believe that a small group creates a safer, more personalized, and rewarding Kilimanjaro experience. For this reason, we limit each group to a maximum of seven climbers, allowing our experienced guides to provide individual attention, closely monitor everyone’s well-being, and offer the support needed throughout the journey. Our goal is to ensure that every climber has the best possible opportunity to safely and confidently reach the Roof of Africa while enjoying the incredible experience along the way.

Tipping Policy at Great Time Experience Adventures
Recommended Tipping Amounts for the Kilimanjaro Support Team
Tipping is a customary way to show appreciation for the dedication, hard work, and service provided by your Kilimanjaro mountain crew. Tips are entirely at the discretion of each guest and should reflect the quality of service received.
Recommended daily tipping amounts:
Lead Guide: USD 20–25 per day
Assistant Guide: USD 15–20 per day
Chef/Cook: USD 12–15 per day
Porters: USD 10–12 per day, per porter
Example:
If four travelers are on the mountain and each contributes USD 5 per day, the group would collectively provide a USD 20 daily tip to the assistant guide.
Recommended Cash
Please bring clean, undamaged U.S. dollar bills issued in 2009 or later. Euros or British pounds may also be used as an alternative. We recommend avoiding coins, as they can be difficult to exchange locally.
Tipping Ceremony
At the end of your expedition, tips are usually presented collectively to the mountain crew during a small tipping ceremony. This typically takes place on the final day, either at the last camp or at the park gate, providing an opportunity for guests to personally thank the team for their support throughout the climb.
Planning Tips For Climbing Kilimanjaro
🛬 Arrive Early
Arrive in Moshi at least one day before your climb. This allows time for rest, briefing, equipment checks, and final preparations before heading to the mountain gate.
🥾 Choose Enough Days
Choose a 6-, 7-, or 8-day climb when possible. Longer routes improve acclimatization and give your body more time to adjust to the altitude.
💬 Book Early
Peak months from June to October and popular full-moon climbs can fill quickly. Booking early helps secure your preferred route, guide team, hotel nights, and group-joining seat
Where to Stay
When planning your safari, there are plenty of great places to stay from lodges and camps to hotels. Each option offers a comfortable and unique way to experience the beauty of nature. Discover the perfect spot to relax after a day of adventure for this tour.
