IS CLIMBING MOUNT KILIMANJARO IN $1500-$2000 THE BEST CHOICE?

By Jerry Tanzania Tours

The Best Choice to choose from Kilimanjaro Climb Cost ranges is the mid-range climbing Mount Kilimanjaro Packages that start from $1500 to $2000. This is the least amount of price we would suggest any climber planning for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro should budget. We will tell you why?

Choosing Local Mid-Range Tour Operators

Mid Range Local Operator

What many climbers aren’t aware of is if the tour operator they are booking with has a TALA license or not. We at Jerry Tanzania Tours are licensed and if need be we send you a copy of the same. We believe in delivering credibility and building trust with our clients.

While choosing tour operators, you need to understand the difference between:

  • Local No-frills Operator: Do not have a license to operate as tour operators and are locally based. Charge you $1000 or so for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
  • Local Mid-Range Operator: They provide mid-range travel packages from $1500-$2500 and so one. They are locally based and you do not pay extra for third party charges.
  • Overseas Standard Agency: Use third parties in Tanzania to book your Kilimanjaro Climb Packages and provide sub-standard results with price ranges up to $2500 or more.
  • Local High-End Operator: These tour operators are locally based luxury tour operators and provide high-end services at price ranges of $2500 and above. You don’t pay extra for third party bookings.
  • Overseas Luxury Company: This is the most expensive package offer where overseas tour operators use third party operators in Tanzania to offer you luxury packages at ranges $4000-$7000.

Among these, we recommend local mid-range or luxury tour operators such as Jerry Tanzania Tours so that you pay less and enjoy more services.
