Kilimanjaro Travel Insurance – Protect Your Adventure

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but trekking to 5,895 meters (19,341 ft) comes with unique risks. Proper travel insurance ensures you are fully protected against emergencies, accidents, or unforeseen changes.

At Musabi Serengeti Safaris, we recommend all climbers purchase comprehensive Kilimanjaro travel insurance before departure.

 Why Travel Insurance Is Essential for Kilimanjaro

Even with experienced guides and safety measures, high-altitude trekking involves:

  • Sudden illness or altitude sickness

  • Accidents during hiking or camping

  • Evacuation or emergency transport

  • Lost or delayed luggage, passports, or gear

  • Trip cancellations due to unforeseen events

Insurance gives peace of mind and ensures you can focus on your summit safely.
