Equipment and Service
At kilitreks and Safaris we have dedicated office staff, safari and climbing teams and the best quality equipment, which we maintain to the highest standard (new equipment purchased for 2009 season).
Once we receive your request, we put all the logistics and trained local people in place so you can sit back and enjoy your vacation time.
Kili trekking prices are based on the number of climbers for each booking request.
Some of our previous Kili trekkers have taken the trouble to make suggestions, which we are happy to present to you as our Kilimanjaro climbing 'Upgrade Service'.
Tanzania safaris are priced individually based on the wildlife areas visited, the number of safari days, the safari accommodation requested and the number of people booking. Click for a quick link to the Tanzania safari Service details on this page
Please consider when booking your safari that safari programs which include visits to Serengeti National Park or Ngorongoro Crater are more expensive.
The service conditions on this web page apply to Kilimanjaro and safari bookings for a minimum of two people.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

There are essentially three types of accommodation for your safari :
- Tanzania Safai Lodges: Safari lodges provide facilities comparable to international 3* 4* & 5* hotels. All are located in stunning locations inside and outside of the wildlife areas and some provide a swimming pool. The lodge service we book for our guests is always full-board - all meals and bottled water.
- Tanzania Tented Camps: Tented camps are set up in remote but equally stunning locations. They can be either permanent or semi-permanent sites. Tents are spacious and offer a level of comfort you would wish for on your dream safari. Solar lighting, heated water, bathroom, comfortable beds, 'room' service, bar, resturant and some with swimming pool
- Tanzania Camping Safari: A camping safari is for the adventurous traveler and not a luxury option. On a camping safari the vehicle in which you travel will also transport all equipment, water, food and your safari chef to the campsite. On reaching the campsite, the chef will remain to organize setting up camp and prepare your food while you continue with game driving. Your tents and a sumptious meal will be ready for your return. You will sleep on sleeping pads in spacious canvas safari tents (with ground sheet and mosquito netting). There will be tables, chairs and dining equipment provided. At some camp sites there are flush toilets and showers. However, in campsites located in the Serengeti, facilities are more basic (no showers and drop toilets) to prevent attracting animals to the site. Water is however available from storage tanks.
Safaris are priced individually based on the wildlife areas visited, the chosen accommodation, the number of people booking together and the number of days on safari.
Please note:
-
The most expensive northern wildlife safaris areas to visit are Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater
Unlike some other companies, we do not join people together on safari. Our wildlife safaris are for you and your travel partners. Take a look at the Tanzania Safari Programs page for program options.
Some of our guests request a safari with another activity (Kili trekking or Zanzibar island). We therefore quote hotel nights (before and after safari) and airport transfers separately unless requested.
