If the trip needs to be postponed, the client can reschedule it for another date.

Travel Insurance

It's mandatory to have medical travel insurance that covers you for trekking up to 6,000 meters. This is due to the high altitude, remote location, and demanding conditions of a Kilimanjaro trek. Anyone taking part in a Kilimanjaro climb must show proof of insurance before the hike.

Carbon Offsets & Removals

Our local partner offsets the carbon from your land-based portion of the trip.

Yugen Earthside automatically includes $10/person towards capturing 10kg of carbon and permanently storing it underground. This is done through our partner, Tomorrow's Air.

We encourage our travelers to add-on carbon offsets for their flights. To do so, select this option during checkout. Offsets are done through Sustainable Travel International.


Carbon capture is more effective than carbon offsets, and a mix of both are recommended for sustainable travel. Please consider becoming a subscriber of Tomorrow's Air to regularly remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Visas, Vaccines, and More

Visas: A tourist visa is required for US passport holders to enter Tanzania. You may complete this process with our partner iVisa. You can also get this visa on arrival, but you may need to wait in an extended queue for it.

Vaccines: Please be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 before travel to Tanzania. See the CDC recommendations for other standard vaccines to have before travel.

Amazing experience with Yugen Earthside and Eco-Africa for my Kilimanjaro climb and safari! An unforgettable experience in Tanzania with extremely attentive and kind staff. The practices were ethical and environmentally conscious. I would highly recommend!

We enjoyed this trip. Service was excellent, accommodation ranged from good to very good, maps and instructions were easy to follow. We especially appreciated the warning when we deviated from the trail, very helpful to avoid navigation errors.

Travelled with 15 other friends and acquaintances; one of the others had planned the entire trip together Yugen Earthside and other local partners. It was a phenomenal experience!! Everything, from the communication beforehand, airport pickups, transfers, flights, Galapagos cruise (the crew! the Bonita Yacht! David the guide!) and back was fantastic! Highly recommended!!

This was a life-changing adventure for me and my son. The days exploring Quito and the surrounding Andean volcanoes and cloud forest revealed surprises at every stop. The planned and unplanned activities gave us a glimpse at the richness of this region. Our guides were amazing, each knowledgeable and interesting and fun to be with. I learned so much from them. Once we arrived in the Galapagos and into the care of David and the crew of the Bonita, the magic of the islands enveloped us in its primeval web. Each day was a new adventure in geology, biology and climate. We saw animals and plants we did not know existed. We learned so much about the local ecology and uplifting news regarding the restoration of ecosystems. Our home on the sea was comfortable and relaxing. The crew was attentive and quickly learned the specific needs of each passenger for each activity. I cannot say enough about how hard they worked to provide us with such an amazing experience. Our naturalist guide, David, could not have been better. He is so knowledgeable about the regional ecology, but also about so many other social and human aspects of the region. And while his attention focused on ensuring that we had the best experience, he was also a valiant guardian of the plants and animals that we were visiting, reminding us to tread lightly and respectfully to ensure everyone's safety. If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I would.

This was a great trip! Right from the onset with the information provided by Yugen Earthside and TerraSur, over the pickups, transfers, guide on the boat, guide and driver on the day tours in Quito / around Cotopaxi, airport transfers etc. Even mid-travel changes to my itinerary they accommodated w/o issues. Highly recommend!
