Don’t Climb Without It

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a major adventure—and like any high-altitude expedition, it carries risks. Comprehensive travel insurance isn’t just recommended—it’s essential. From emergency evacuations to trip delays, the right policy gives you peace of mind so you can focus on the climb.

📌 Why You Need It

1. Medical Emergencies & Evacuation

   • High-altitude sickness, injuries, or other issues may require immediate evacuation by helicopter or stretcher.

   • These costs can reach thousands of dollars and are not covered by standard health insurance.

2. Trip Cancellation or Interruption

   • Protect your investment if you must cancel due to illness, injury, or unexpected events.

   • Covers flights, hotels, and tour costs.

3. Lost or Delayed Luggage

   • Lost gear? Missed connections? Get reimbursed for essentials, clothing, or equipment rental.

4. COVID-19 or Other Illness Coverage

   • Some policies include cancellation or medical coverage due to COVID-related disruptions.

✅ What to Look for in a Policy

• High-altitude trekking coverage (up to 6,000 meters or higher)

• Emergency medical evacuation (including helicopter evacuation)

• Trip cancellation and delay protection

• Lost, stolen, or damaged gear/luggage

• 24/7 assistance services

Be sure to read the fine print—not all travel insurance covers high-altitude trekking by default.
