Gold or green
TANAPA issues two summit certificates on Kilimanjaro. The green certificate records that you reached Stella Point or Gilman's Point, the crater rim. The gold certificate records that you walked on to Uhuru Peak at 5,895 m, the true summit. Both are printed with your name, your route and the date you climbed, and both are handed out at the park gate on the day you descend. If yours was lost, damaged or never issued, your tour operator can request a replacement from the Kilimanjaro National Park authority using their permit records for your climb.
What is the difference between the gold and green Kilimanjaro certificate?
The green certificate is issued to climbers who reached Stella Point or Gilman's Point on the crater rim. The gold certificate is issued to climbers who continued to Uhuru Peak at 5,895 m, the highest point on the mountain.
Who issues the Kilimanjaro summit certificate?
Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA), through Kilimanjaro National Park. Certificates are normally handed to climbers at the park gate on the last day of the trek, signed by the park authority.
I lost my Kilimanjaro certificate. Can I get another one?
Yes. Contact the tour operator who ran your climb. They hold the permit records with your name, dates and route, and can request a reissued certificate from Kilimanjaro National Park on your behalf.
Is the certificate on this website an official TANAPA certificate?
No. The keepsake certificate this register generates is a souvenir of your entry. It is not a TANAPA certificate and has no official standing.
Does the register check certificates?
Entries marked certificate verified have had a TANAPA certificate checked by the keeper of the register. Other entries are self reported or photo verified.
