For trips over $300 per person, a deposit of 50% is required in order to secure a place on the trip. This will be specified in the trip notes. Please note that deposits are non-refundable. The final amount will then be due 10 days before the start of the trip. If booking less than 20 days before the start of the trip, the full amount will be required at the time of booking.

If you wish to change your booking dates, or type (duration, program, etc) of trip, please contact us as soon as possible.

If a new trip is more expensive than the initial trip, the difference plus the amendment fee will be outstanding, and due in order to confirm the change to a new trip.

No refunds will be given due to changes that occur during the trek, or if the trip is cut short due to unforeseen circumstances such as, but not limited to: bad weather, illness, pandemics, injury or natural disasters and dangerous conditions e.g. forest fires. In the event that a trip is cut short, Kilibackpackers will attempt to find an alternative activity for the remainder of the trip schedule.
Every step will be taken to stick to the original trip plan, however, trip participants must be prepared for changes to the plan due to unforeseen circumstances. We operate in mountainous locations where we are subject to adverse weather conditions and ever-changing conditions that can often cause us to take a different route, turn back, or even stop us from running the trip altogether. Your cooperation through any unforeseen changes is greatly appreciated.
