Asked on August 10th, 2022I need to be back to the airport to meet up with some friends on day 8. So can I be dropped off at the airport this day instead of staying the night at the hotel? Do you (or the hotel) have luggage storage, so that I don't have to bring all my belongings with?

The Airport pick up & drop off transport is provided as a package inclusive of the price. Yes is possible on the last day to drop you at Airport to join your friends instead of staying at Hotel.

Asked on July 3rd, 2019Can 70+ years old tourists climb Kilimanjaro?
- Kilisa Tours & SafarisOperator•Written July 2019
Yes, there are travellers in their 70s and 80s who summit Kilimanjaro every year. However, it is recommended to seek professional medical advice first to ensure the person gets clearance from doctor. If they decide to trek the Kilimanjaro, it is also recommended to take one of the longer routes which provide more time for acclimatization.

Sylvia
Asked on July 3rd, 2019Is any previous experience needed to climb Kilimanjaro?
- Kilisa Tours & SafarisOperator•Written July 2019
No, the climb to Mount Kilimanjaro does not require any previous climbing skills. On the Machame, Lemosho, Shira and Umbwe Route there is a section called the Barranco Wall that requires basic bouldering skills, however, no preparation is required for this section of the hike.

Esther
Asked on July 3rd, 2019Is it possible to climb Kilimanjaro without a guide?
- Kilisa Tours & SafarisOperator•Written July 2019
No. All standard Kilimanjaro treks usually include not only a registered guide but porters to carry the trekkers gear, gas, tents and food. According to the Tanzanian law, it is not possible for travellers to climb Kilimanjaro without the support staff.

Asked on July 3rd, 2019What is the night time temperature like on the summit of Kilimanjaro?
- Kilisa Tours & SafarisOperator•Written July 2019
The night time temperature at the Uhuru Point can range between 20 and -20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 to -29 degrees Celsius). Due to Mount Kilimanjaro's great height, the mountain creates its own weather.
