HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CLIMB KILIMANJARO
Planning a trip to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro requires careful budgeting with many factors in mind. The overall cost of trekking to Kilimanjaro varies depending on aspects such as the chosen route, the duration of the trek, the level of service provided by tour operators, and what other facilities will be offered and frequently can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 or more per person depending on these variables. It’s important to account for park fees, before and after accommodation, transportation and equipment rentals. Choosing a reputable inspector is key, as their expertise, security measures and services can have a significant impact on the overall cost. While the cost may seem high, it often includes essentials like guides, porters, food and camping gear, ensuring a safer, more enjoyable trip Should aspiring climbers carefully consider their budgets, prioritizing safety and comfort, over preferences for the expectations they want on this amazing trek Kilimanjaro and choose a package that matches

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.

Oliver R2023-12-12THE BEST TOUR AGENCY FOR KILIMANJARO TREKKING AND WILDLIFE SAFARIES This was the first time I had travelled with Mr Lyimo . The company specialises in expert-led cultural and wildlife tours in Tanzania East Africa. Group numbers are small, accommodation at the hotel in Moshi Kilimajaro was comfortable and food excellent. The expert mountain and safari guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary for 6 days Climbing Kilimanjaro and 5 Days wildlife safari was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to swim in the Kikuletwa Hot springs ( Maji Moto) . The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver! Thanks Mr Lyimo for your good arrangement.Verified
