Climb Kilimanjaro in 2026 or 2027 — join a guided group
Group departures are the most affordable way to climb Kilimanjaro with a professional team. You share the vehicle, camp crew, and trail with a small group of like-minded climbers — while still receiving expert individual attention and daily health monitoring by pulse oximeter.
Every departure leaves from Moshi and includes all TANAPA park fees, camping fees, meals, a professional lead guide, assistant guides, porters, emergency oxygen, and your Uhuru Peak certificate. No hidden fees at the gate. The quote is the final cost.

Joining a Kilimanjaro Group as a Solo Traveller
You do not need to organise your own group to enquire about a scheduled climb. Choose a departure that matches your travel dates and tell our team that you are travelling alone. The shared itinerary brings you together with other climbers following the same route, with a mountain crew coordinating the trek.
Before confirming, ask how tent sharing and hotel room arrangements work for that departure. If you prefer a private tent or room, request availability and the additional cost in your written quote. Couples and friends can also join a scheduled group; include the number of travellers in your enquiry so the team can check spaces together.
Choosing Between a Six, Seven or Eight-Day Climb
The calendar lists six-day Marangu, seven-day Machame, Rongai and Umbwe, and eight-day Lemosho departures. These durations describe the mountain itinerary. Your complete holiday also needs to account for arrival, the Moshi briefing, hotel nights and onward travel.
Compare the daily itinerary alongside the price: overnight stops, walking stages and accommodation can make two climbs feel very different. Marangu departures use huts, while the other listed routes use camping accommodation. Read the Kilimanjaro route comparison and discuss your trekking experience and preferred trip length with our team before selecting a date.
Planning Your Arrival in Moshi Before Departure
Your mountain start date is only one part of the travel plan. Arrange to be in Moshi before the climb so there is time for your briefing, a review of your equipment and a discussion of the itinerary. Ask the team to confirm the required arrival day and meeting point before purchasing flights.
Share your proposed arrival and departure details when requesting a quote. Confirm whether airport transfers and hotel nights are included, what happens if your arrival is delayed, and when you can reasonably begin your onward journey after the descent. Keeping these arrangements in the same written itinerary makes the full trip easier to organise.
Understanding Your Total Kilimanjaro Trip Budget
The departure cards show a published price per person for a particular route and date. Use that figure to compare departures, then request a detailed quote for your own arrangements. A mountain package price and the total cost of an international holiday are different figures.
Check each item in the quote, including accommodation before and after the trek, transfers, personal equipment rental and any private-tent or single-room supplement. Also account for flights, entry requirements, insurance, crew tips and personal spending as applicable. Ask which costs are included, which are optional and which you will pay separately, so you can compare packages on the same basis.
Getting Ready for a Shared Mountain Expedition
A group climb involves shared routines as well as shared scenery. The briefing is the time to understand the daily schedule, luggage arrangements, meal planning and communication with the guides. Tell the team about dietary requirements, equipment questions and accommodation preferences in advance so they can explain what is available for your departure.
Request the packing list for your chosen itinerary and check which items you must bring or rent. Confirm rental sizes and availability before travelling, rather than assuming every item will be available on arrival. Review the itinerary with your travel companions so everyone understands the number of mountain days and the arrangements at the end of the trek.
How to Enquire and Confirm Your Group Departure
Select a route, year and date from the calendar, then use the departure's enquiry button to prepare an email with the trip details. Add your number of climbers, accommodation preference and questions. Send the draft from your email app to complete the enquiry; opening the draft does not reserve a place.
The next step is to obtain written confirmation of current availability, the final itinerary, the total price and the payment and cancellation terms. If your preferred departure does not fit, include alternative dates in your message. You can also contact our Moshi team directly to discuss a different departure or a private climb.
Return to the departure calendar to compare dates, or review the route and price table before enquiring.
Common questions about group departures
-
Group departures are fixed-date climbs where solo travellers or small groups join a shared guide team. The maximum is 12 climbers per departure. Your tent, camping equipment, and daily life on the mountain are shared within the group — which significantly reduces the per-person cost compared to a private departure. You still receive daily individual health monitoring and a fully professional guide experience.
-
Yes. Solo travellers can request a place on a shared departure with up to 12 climbers. Ask us to confirm availability, tent or room sharing, any single supplements and the operating conditions for your selected date.
-
Enquire as early as possible for your preferred route and date, especially for popular holiday periods. We recommend allowing 3 to 5 months for planning. Ask for current availability and written deposit terms before making a payment.
-
A group departure shares a fixed departure date, guide team, and camp infrastructure with up to 12 climbers. It is more affordable and a great way to meet other climbers. A private departure is customised entirely to your schedule and group, with a dedicated guide team, fully flexible dates, and private camping. Both options include the same quality of guides, safety equipment, and meals. View all Kilimanjaro options.
-
No technical climbing experience is required. Kilimanjaro is a trek, not a technical climb. You should be able to hike 6–8 hours a day with a light daypack over several consecutive days. Cardiovascular fitness matters most. We recommend 3–4 months of consistent training — hiking, running, or cycling — before your departure. Contact us for a personalised fitness assessment.
-
A summit is never guaranteed. Outcomes vary by route, time on the mountain, conditions and individual response to altitude. Ask our team for recent route-specific results and how those figures are calculated, together with the safety and evacuation arrangements for your climb.
-
Cancellations more than 60 days before departure receive a full deposit refund. Cancellations 30–59 days before receive 50% of the deposit. Within 30 days, the deposit is non-refundable but we will work with you to find an alternative date. Date changes are accommodated free of charge where availability allows. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering cancellation and emergency evacuation.
-
Compare the 8-day Lemosho itinerary with 7-day Machame, Rongai and Umbwe departures, or the 6-day Marangu itinerary with hut accommodation. Review the daily ascent profile, accommodation and total trip length before choosing. If you have a medical condition, seek advice from a qualified clinician before booking. Read our full routes guide.
