Why Quotes Vary — Key Price Factors
If you’re comparing quotes and wondering why prices differ, here are the main reasons:
1. Route Choice
Lemosho and Northern Circuit routes are longer and more expensive due to their high success rates.
Marangu is the only route with hut accommodation, typically cheaper but with lower summit success rates.
2. Duration of Climb
More days = higher cost, but better acclimatization and summit success.
3. Group vs. Private Trek
Group treks are more budget-friendly.
Private climbs offer more flexibility and personalization.
4. Operator Quality
Ethical operators pay their crew fairly and follow KPAP standards (Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project).
Cheaper quotes may cut corners—beware of hidden costs.
5. Inclusions
Flights, gear rental, tips, travel insurance, and pre/post-accommodation might not be included in all quotes.
