Kilimanjaro Climb Prices.
Every route, every group size, every price on one page. What you see here is what you pay: park fees, guides, porters, fresh meals, equipment, transfers, and hotel nights in Moshi are all included. The only surprises on your climb should be the views.
What Would Your Climb Cost?
Pick a route and your group size. Prices are per person in USD and include everything listed below. Larger groups pay less per person because vehicles, guides, and camp logistics are shared.
Groups of 9 or more: message Nelson for a custom group rate.

1. What Your Price Includes
Roughly 70 percent of any honest Kilimanjaro price goes straight to Tanzania National Parks as entrance, camping, and conservation fees. The rest covers the team and equipment that get you up and down safely. Every price on this page includes:
- All national park entrance, camping, and conservation fees
- Professional English-speaking lead guide and assistant guides
- Full porter team and mountain cook
- All camping equipment: 4-season tents, sleeping pads, dining tent, toilet tent
- Three fresh-cooked meals a day plus snacks, with unlimited purified water
- First aid equipment, pulse oximeter checks, and supplemental oxygen
- Pre-climb briefing and personal gear check with Nelson
- Airport transfers and hotel accommodation in Moshi before and after the climb
2. What Is Not Included
International flights, travel insurance (must cover trekking to 6,000 m), your Tanzania visa, personal trekking gear, and tips for the mountain crew. No other extras, no surprise invoices.
3. The Kosovo Camp Upgrade
On 7 to 9 day southern-route climbs, well-acclimatized climbers can upgrade from Barafu Camp to Kosovo Camp (4,870 m), the highest summit base camp on the mountain. Sleeping 220 metres higher shortens summit night by 1 to 2 hours, skips the steep rocky scramble in the dark, and trades the crowds for a quiet camp. The upgrade typically adds $150 to $200 per person for the special permit and extra logistics.
4. A Word on Cheap Operators
Every licensed operator pays the same park fees, so a quote far below the market can only be built on underpaid porters, inexperienced guides, thin meals, or missing safety equipment. If a price looks too good to be true on Kilimanjaro, it is. Here is how to vet any operator, including us.
