12 . Kilimanjaro Private Climb Cost/ Kilimanjaro Group Climb Cost

The number of people who climb Mount Kilimanjaro with you determines the Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro Cost. More number of people (Group Climbs) will decrease the cost while private tour climbs increases your climb cost significantly.

Following are the reasons why:

• Kilimanjaro Food: The more the number of people in your group, the cost of food and related expenses decreases.
• Kilimanjaro Park Fees: Depending on the group members the park fees either increases or decreases with more people.
• Kilimanjaro Tipping Cost: You can divide your tipping cost among group members helping you cut some costs.
• Gear and Equipment Cost: The cost of gear and other climbing equipment also can be managed, cutting down costs in group climbs.

Choose private if you wish to avoid the crowd or choose group climbs to save your Kilimanjaro Climb Cost.

Important Points To Consider:

• From a cost perspective, it would surely be cheaper to join a group as the "common" equipment would be spread across more Porters but there would also be a lower Porter-to-Trekker ratio.
• You will be able to climb on days that fall outside of the group departure dates and therefore have areas of the mountain all to yourselves and not as part of a giant community on the nights in the campsite spots.

13 . Kilimanjaro Climbing Routes Cost

Seven routes help you climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The most affordable of these seven routes (Northern Circuit route, Machame route, Lemosho route, Marangu route, Shira route,Rongai route and Umbwe Route) is the Marangu Route which offers a 6 Day climb package.

The Marangu Route Cost is the lowest and Jerry Tanzania Tours chooses the Lemosho route and Machame routes as their Kilimanjaro Climb Cost is comparatively less and they are easier to climb.

This is because it is considered a shorter itinerary based route which is easier to climb and is busy. Below is a list of some of the Route choices with their prices that Jerry Tanzania Tours offers:

ROUTE	1 PERSON	2 PERSON GROUP	3 PERSON GROUP	4+ PERSON GROUP
6 Days Machame Route	$3,171	$2,499	$2,231	$2,183
6 Days Marangu Route	$3,123	$2,408	$2,196	$2,125
7 Days Rongai Route	$3,752	$2,940	$2,658	$2,561
7 Days Lemosho Route	$3,717	$2,912	$2,629	$2,549
9 Days Northern Circuit Route	$4,900	$3,814	$3,382	$3,256

Depending on the time of travel – low or peak seasons the Cost To Climb Kilimanjaro and the packages increase or decrease.

Important Points To Consider:

• We recommend 6 days as a minimum, but 7-8 days on the mountain gives you the best acclimatization protocol and offers the highest chance of a safe and successful summit.

14 . Kilimanjaro Climbing Duration Cost

You must choose longer itinerary putting an extra day to acclimatise to avoid any health conditions. Most climbers choose shorter itineraries to cut on their Kilimanjaro Climb Cost.

But this results in lower Kilimanjaro Success Rateon the mountain as well as numerous medical conditions due to your bodies inability to adjust to the change in altitude and temperature. Among the most common complication that occurs is altitude sickness.

Kilimanjaro Altitude Sickness is various symptoms that can come about when someone ascends to a high altitude too rapidly, without sufficient acclimatization.

There are three main forms of altitude sickness:

• AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) – very common when climbing Kilimanjaro.
• HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema)-a fluid buildup in the lungs.
• HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema) – a fluid buildup in the brain.

Both HAPE and HACE are potentially serious but are thankfully extremely rare during a well planned Kilimanjaro climb.

ROUTE	DURATION	DESCRIPTION	SUCCESS RATE
Lemosho route	7-8 days	Arguably the most beautiful route to ascend Kilimanjaro. It’s popular, but not as crowded as the Machame route.	High
Machame Route	6-8 days	The most popular Mount Kilimanjaro route. Very Scenic Route and has acclimitization advantage, hike high sleep low	High
Marangu Route	5-6 days	The only route on Mount Kilimanjaro that has hut accommodation. Not very scenic.	Low
Rongai Route	6-7 days	Rongai route ascends Kilimanjaro from the north-eastern side of the mountain, along the border between Kenya and Tanzania. It’s the easiest route and best during rain season	Medium
Northern Circuit Route	9-10 days	The newest and longest Mount Kilimanjaro route. It’s very scenic, and is one of the least crowded routes.	High

 

Important Points To Consider:

Choose Longer Itinerary!

• Why? Because your body needs to acclimatize well (adapt to the temperature and altitude changes on the mountain). Take a day extra to acclimatize even if it means adding to your overall Kilimanjaro Climb Cost as it guarantees success.

15 . Kilimanjaro Climbing Packages Cost
