Kilimanjaro trekking adventure is based on the pick-up from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) with a road transfer to Arusha for a night prior to commencement of the trip. However, there might be additional cost for accommodation in the event you arrive with Turkish Airlines flight which traditionally arrives here after mid night whilst the normal check-in time in the lodges is at 14:00hrs. The departure is out of Kilimanjaro Airport unless you provide us with different departure details.

| What’s Included | What’s not Included | |
| Tortilis Camps – Transport:
Transport from your Arusha hotel to the start of the climb and return to your Arusha hotel at the end of the climb. |
Tipping:
Tipping is of course discretionary but is an expected part of the way in which business is done in Tanzania. It counts as an expression of gratitude to those who – hopefully – have made your experience an unforgettable one and enables you to directly reward those people. Our passengers come from all around the world, with different cultural attitudes to tipping, but a tip is of great significance here in Tanzania and will be hugely appreciated by the recipient. We know that the act of giving of a tip can be a bit awkward and we would suggest that the best way to remove this ‘awkwardness’ is for each couple to put their tip anonymously into an envelope and for the envelopes to be presented by the couple to the staff member. As a guideline, you should consider tipping at the following levels: Tips Tipping for guide: $25 per guide/per day/per group Tipping for cook: $15 per cook/per day/per group Tipping for porters: $10 per porter/per day/per group Tipping for Summit porters: $15 per porter/ per day/ per group |
