Safety is paramount for all our adventures at Nduwa Tours. Apart from being certified Wilderness First Responders, two times per year all our guides attend special Kilimanjaro proficiency workshops where they refresh their emergency management, wilderness guiding and camping skills. We invite world-class mountaineers to give lectures for our teams.

Our Kilimanjaro guides perform two daily medical checkups on all Kilimanjaro trips to make sure that acclimatization transition is smooth. Every climbing party has medical kits, oximeters and oxygen tanks. While the need may be rare, we have emergency preparedness protocols in place, up to even helicopter evacuations off the mountain and straight to the hospital, in the event of severe high altitude sickness.

The adventurers always praise our Kilimanjaro cooks. Our mountain diet is all about energy-rich and delicious meals, featuring soups, salads, beef, poultry, fish, and a variety of garnishes, fresh fruits and vegetables. Vegetarian, gluten-free, halal and Kosher options are available.

We use only new high-quality equipment in our expeditions. Our hiking teams stay in sturdy four-season The North Face VE-25 (used on Everest expeditions) tents or in our extra-comfort Nduwa Tours Kilimanjaro walk-in tents. Those who do not have, or do not want to bring personal hiking gear may hire everything from us on the spot. All personal gear that we provide is new and from the best brands (The North Face, Mountain Hardwear and RedFox) only. Read more about our gear and how to rent with us here.
