Insurance:
It is imperative you take out insurance for your trip. Please check the fine print of your policy to ensure it covers your Kilimanjaro climb, which means trekking up to 6,000m above sea level. To access emergency helicopter evacuation (subject to weather) from the mountain your insurance MUST meet this standard. This rescue service is also available on Mount Meru and the Northern safari parks. Be aware that some insurance policies operate on a reimbursement basis, which can mean a large outlay from you in the event of an emergency. Check the fine print on your policy. Your climb price includes an evacuation service via stretcher and vehicle from the mountain.
