We are committed to the well being of our trekkers, as well as our guides and porters.
Our Kilimanjaro guides are medically trained as Wilderness First Responders and have extensive training in evacuation procedures.
It is this skill, training and experience that impede dangerous situations from occurring in the first place; we never trust your safety solely to the whims of fancy gadgets and potentially unreliable gizmos. We are, however, always prepared.
The following safety equipment is standard on all of our Kilimanjaro treks:
Oxygen
For emergency use.
Hyperbaric Chamber
Gamow bag.
AED Heart Saving Device
Automated External Defibrillator.
Pulse-oximeter
Carried by the head guide as a diagnostic tool for acclimatization.
Mobile Phones
Carried by the head guide and all assistant guides, for daily communications with our base in Arusha.
Stretcher and Convertible Litter
Comprehensive Medical / First Aid Kits
As per WFR/NOLS USA guidelines. |
