Why Climb Kilimanjaro with Safari Multiways?

At Safari Multiways, a leading tour operator based in the heart of Tanzania, we specialize in creating unforgettable experiences tailored just for you. Climbing Kilimanjaro is not just about conquering a mountain; it’s about challenging yourself, embracing nature, and making memories that last a lifetime. And who better to guide you through this journey than experts who call this land home?

Comprehensive Budget Planning for Kilimanjaro: How Much Does It Cost?

Planning your Kilimanjaro climb involves various elements that contribute to your overall budget. Let’s break down the essentials to help you plan effectively:

1. Climbing Packages: Choose Your Route

Kilimanjaro offers several routes, each with its own unique features, duration, and difficulty level. Popular routes include the Marangu, Machame, and Lemosho. Prices for these climbs vary depending on the route’s length and scenic offerings.

• Marangu Route: Often referred to as the "Coca-Cola" route, this is considered the most straightforward path. It’s also the only route with hut accommodations. A 5-day trek on Marangu can cost between $1,200 to $1,500 per person.

• Machame Route: Known as the "Whiskey" route, this is slightly more challenging and scenically beautiful. A standard 7-day trek here ranges from $1,500 to $2,000 per person.

• Lemosho Route: A longer and more serene option, offering higher success rates due to better acclimatization. An 8-day journey can range from $1,800 to $2,300 per person.

2. Travel and Accommodation Before and After the Climb

Your adventure doesn’t start at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Arusha, the gateway to Kilimanjaro, is where you’ll likely spend a day or two before and after your climb. We at Safari Multiways offer a variety of accommodation options from budget-friendly guesthouses to luxurious hotels, typically ranging from $50 to $200 per night.

3. Gear and Equipment

Proper gear is crucial for a successful climb. While personal items like clothing and boots should be brought from home, other climbing equipment can be rented locally. Budget around $200 to $300 for gear rental.

4. Permits and Fees

Kilimanjaro National Park requires all climbers to have a permit. These fees contribute to the conservation efforts and maintenance of the park. The cost is included in your package, but it’s good to know that these fees can range from $800 to $1,000 depending on your climbing duration.

5. Guides and Porters

Our climbing packages include the support of experienced, local guides and porters who not only know the mountain like the back of their hand but also ensure your safety and comfort throughout the journey. Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated, usually amounting to $200-$250 per climber.
