We understand you have many choices when it comes to Kilimanjaro guide services. But when selecting an operator, your safety should take precedence over any other consideration. Beware of companies that downplay the potential dangers of high altitude trekking. They’re more focused on selling you a trip than helping you make an informed decision.

In this video, we examine what dangers you may face while climbing Kilimanjaro and what we do to minimize the risks.

High altitude trekking is inherently risky. It’s the nature of being on such a tall, expansive mountain such as Kilimanjaro, situated far away from medical facilities. Total safety can never be guaranteed – by anyone. Deaths can and do occur on the mountain.

Many companies that operate on Kilimanjaro are not capable of handling life-threatening emergencies. When you choose to climb with Ultimate Kilimanjaro®, you are literally entrusting us with your life. That fact is not lost on us. The Ultimate Kilimanjaro staff take your health and safety very seriously.

We have a comprehensive safety system that was co-developed with the knowledge and expertise of professional mountaineers, western doctors and altitude experts. Visit our website for more details on our comprehensive list of our safety precautions.

In the event of an emergency on the mountain, Ultimate Kilimanjaro® guides are trained to take swift action. Because of our established protocols, there’s never any question on how to best resolve an issue. Whether it’s a sprained ankle, hypothermia, exhaustion, or altitude sickness, our guides are capable of getting you to safety.

We can coordinate a rescue from anywhere in the park. On the mountain, our teams carry bottled oxygen on every climb. Oxygen can be used to treat AMS in conjunction with rapid descent. Additionally, we can initiate helicopter evacuation through third party service Kili MedAir.

When you climb Kilimanjaro, it’s important that you understand the risks of being at high altitude in a remote location. While it’s impossible to remove all danger, you certainly can minimize it.

Many operators appear to be great, if everything goes well. But when life threatening situations arise, the vast majority of companies are not trained or equipped to handle medical emergencies. The truth is, the standards that western clients expect in terms of safety are not the norm on Kilimanjaro expeditions.

That’s why it is imperative that you choose an experienced, safety-focused operator like Ultimate Kilimanjaro®, which practices comprehensive, practical and effective safety protocols.

Because our number one priority is to make sure you return home safely.
