General guidelines:

• You have to book the flight separately.
• Prices will change, when the fees for the National Park increase or decrease.
• All prices are per person and in USD.
• We observe the rules of the National Park Administration, which prescribes a maximum load of 20 kg
  per porter. This results in a local team size of 3–4 porters for one climber.
• We observe the rules about minimum wages from 2004.

Money back warranty*
Our crew is very well paid. We were even told, that our tour-company pays its tour staff the highest wages around Kilimanjaro: Porter 14 $, cook 20$, assistant guide 30$ and Guide 35$ per day. Every other tour company is expecting TIP from the climbers. That way, every tourist pays an average of 150 USD as a tip on the whole trip. From the very beginning we broke with this kind of conduct and are not asking for a tip nor things or other support. On the other hand we don't want that the service suffers, because the crew knows that they get their salary in any case.


* That is why we pay achievement-dependently. If you are satisfied with our service, our people will get the achievement-dependent portion of 30% of their total payment, otherwise YOU will get that portion back. Since February 2007 our questionnaire is used – so far all groups were content and the warranty was not required to come into action.
