FACTORS AFFECTS THE COST OF A KILIMANJARO TREKS
Group Size
The more people that are in a trekking party, the lower the cost per person. Climbs that have only one or two climbers will have the highest prices as the costs to operate are shared by a small number of people. Not surprisingly, climbs with a dozen or more people will have much lower prices. Most companies, including Morinyi Adventures , run open climbs where customers may book a spot to join to form a group.
On the Mountain
Each day spent on the mountain incurs additional costs in park fees, staff wages, food, and equipment use. Thus, longer routes are more expensive than shorter routes. Route selection also plays a part as some require more personnel, gear and logistical arrangements.
Level Of Service
Kilimanjaro operators can be categorized into three broad price ranges: budget, mid-range and luxury. This is the main driver of the huge price disparity between different companies for what seems like the same service. The typical consumer has a hard time differentiating between operators because a company’s website doesn’t tell the whole story.
Golden Bamboo Tours is a mid-range operator offering high quality climbs at a reasonable cost. We believe that luxury operators make you pay for things you don’t want and don’t need. On the other hand, budget operators cut corners in areas that are critical to your experience, including safety.
