Climbing Kilimanjaro is very much possible and safe as of 2026. The mountain itself is unaffected, and tourism has returned strongly. Focus on your fitness, choosing a good route, and having proper insurance.
So far, there are no travel restrictions or prohibitions in place in Tanzania. There are numerous business visits to and from the East African country.
We update the information in this blog entry on a regular basis to reflect the most recent COVID-related news and advancements linked to the trip to Tanzania.
