Travel insurance is mandatory for participation on our trips.
Travel insurance should cover:
- High-altitude trekking up to 6,000 Meters (not mountaineering)
- Medical costs
- Repatriation costs
- Trip cancellation
With your travel insurance policy, we automatically enroll every client with AMREF Flying Doctors Evacuation Coverage, who operate helicopter-based search and rescue on Mount Kilimanjaro. This is only available for those who have a valid travel insurance.
You will be required to show proof of insurance. Please bring a photocopy of your policy to the trip briefing.
We will verify that you have the appropriate insurance prior to the climb. No refunds are given for clients turned away due to failure to obtain the proper coverage.
