Basic Style |
The best holidays are often those
which comprise all sorts of exciting experiences. Not everyone can
afford the most expensive hotels or luxurious forms of transport,
which is why we have created a basic version of our climbs. Enjoy
Africa on a budget and stretch your dollars so you can holiday for
longer. On basic trips, you get to experience the real Africa, meet
some fantastic new friends and still experience the wonders of this
great continent. Accommodation will be in clean 2 and 3 star hotels
and camping. Meals will be nutritious and healthy and there will
be shared transport. On climbs, your safety is assured with a guide
and assistant guide. We ask you to pack carefully (see our equipment
list) and not bring excessive luggage. On these trips, we still
offer airport transfers so that we know that you are in safe hands
right from the start. On safari we usually camp under the stars! |

Standard Style |
If you don't want to break the
bank, yet still enjoy a few creature comforts on your holiday, then
select a Standard style of service. On climbs, there are more porters,
three hot meals a day and snacks. Pre- and post climb accommodation
will be in tourist class hotels in well located areas all providing
a good international style of service. You will be looked after
throughout your trip by a dedicated guide. There are more inclusions
(see detailed check-list) and there is a higher staff to customer
ratio to ensure that your needs are well looked after throughout.
On safari, we stay in lodges and travel in dedicated 4WD's. |

Extreme Style |
This style is for those of us
with a taste for adventure. While offering all the creature comforts
of a Deluxe style holiday, it's an expedition which will require
determination and a good level of fitness. Nobody wants to worry
about the small details and on an Extreme expedition you won't need
to. On the Kilimanjaro extreme climb, we arrange additional staff
so that you may bring along extra luggage if you wish (heavy camera
lenses etc) and technical, high altitude safety equipment for camping
on the glacier. You will enjoy varied and delicious menus throughout
- and be served three hot meals a day. We also provide a separate
wash tent and dining tent for you. You will be offered snacks to
keep you going and delicious treats such as thick, creamy italian
style hot chocolate. Additional fresh food is carried up the mountain
by porters half-way into the trip to ensure a good variety of food.
At night, we wrap you up and give you a hot water bottle to snuggle
up with. To keep you fresh, enjoy a unique comfort kit with our
compliments. Your dedicated guides will be there throughout your
trip to ensure your comfort and safety throughout. Challenge yourself
with our extreme adventure on Kilimanjaro and tread the path which
few others have done. |
