Hoopoe Safaris

Hoopoe Safaris runs a luxury specification for group set departure and 3 specifications for tailor made climbs for all East Africa's Peaks; Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya, Mt. Meru, and Ol Donyo Lengai.

Lightweight Specification: has a lightweight mess tent, table and stools, smaller client tent and foam pad. Client must provide their own sleeping bag. This is our most adventurous specification and also lowest priced.

Luxury Specification: a larger mess tent than the lightweight specification, backed chairs instead of stools, a larger client tent with a 3 inch foam mattress. A pillow and -18 Celcius rated sleeping bag with liner are also included. There is a private portable toilet. Evening meals have an additional course (entrée) and there is fresh pressed coffee available. All in all, highly recommended.

VIP Specification : similar to the Luxury specification but with a larger walk in client tent with a sleeping cot so that guests are raised above the ground.

The key differences between the specifications are based on the amount of equipment provided and hence this affects the total weight of gear going on any given expedition. On Kilimanjaro, Mt Meru or Mt Kenya, all gear is portered up and down and so the more equipment we take up the more porters there are.
