Cancellations must be done in writing via email.


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

Travel Insurance

It is mandatory to have travel insurance that covers up to 6000 meters above sea level. Coverage is needed due to the high altitude, remote location, and demanding conditions of a Kilimanjaro trek; and in case an emergency evacuation with the Kilimanjaro SAR helicopter is required. Proof of coverage required prior to arrival. We recommend two partners:

  • Wanderwell (US travelers only): B-Corp Certified, 1% for the Planet member. Request a free quote for their Wanderwell GO program with the Extreme Sports upgrade.
  • World Nomads (All travelers <66 years old): Request a free quote for their Explorer Plan.

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.


See the US Embassy page for more information about travel to Tanzania.

Both of our local guides, Alper and Mel, had extensive historical knowledge of Turkey. The history is so complicated, and they were so kind and patient with our many questions. They also introduced us to a wide array of Turkish specialties, from the wonderful mezes, many kinds of fish and delectable desserts. Fun cooking classes were arranged to further our knowledge of Turkish cooking. The small group size allowed flexibility, allowing us to stay longer at some attractions and skip ones we weren't interested in. A very worthwhile experience!

I really liked that I could have input into planning our trip. Hilary was outstanding to work with. She is so helpful and responsive which led to us have an excellent trip. Our guides were extremely informative and enjoyable. There was so much history to learn from going to several historical sites. It was fascinating! On Food, Oh my goodness! Delicious! We had such a variety of food and so much food. The last cooking class was the best. I highly recommend this trip to those who are interested in Ancient history sites and enjoy food. That is what stood out to me. I sure will use Yugen Earthside again !

Our wonderful guide and driver made this trip excellent. They were supportive, flexible and efficient! I was constantly amazed with all the knowledge our guide shared with us. This trip was perfectly planned. Our time at each location was just right. Our accommodations were very nice. Everyone was kind, helpful with smiles! I loved the variety of activities we did, including me getting to Tiger’s Nest Monastery. I don’t know if I could have made it without the supportive team. During our whole stay the guide made sure we were good with what we were doing. Learning about the Bhutanese culture and Buddhism was so interesting. The Black Rand festival was another highlight. Bhutan is an absolutely beautiful country! I highly recommend this trip. We went in November and had great weather. March would be a month to go with the flowers blooming! There are many festivals to attend.

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.
