 Kilimanjaro Tours Top Three

A kilimanjaro tours companies search will bring you dozens of results.  So how do you successfully choose between all of them?

  An excellent place to start the sifting process is learning from the advice and recommendations of people who have used the operator in the past.

If they have had a good experience then there is a better chance that you will too.

It's not failsafe of course, but it is better then blindly booking with a company that you know virtually nothing about.

So with that in mind, and the access that I have to travel journals, I've set up a top three kilimanjaro tour operators list.

This is by no means a "be all and end all" categorization of the trekking companies available, but it does give you a base from which to start.

Kilimanjaro Tours Top Three Companies:

The list is based on the experiences of the operators by travellers listed in these kilimanjaro treks travel diaries and others that have crossed my desk in the past.

I also keep an eye on various forums and stay up to date on what is going on in the travel industry.

In no particular order other than alphabetical then, the top three are...

International Mountain Guides Kilimanjaro Tours

..."The porters woke us up around 6:00am with coffee and tea. I began to get a sense of what it must be like on the big Himalayan expeditions where the Sherpas look after the climbers"...

Into Africa Kilimanjaro Tours

..."We're very pleased to learn that the outfitter that we're using,  IntoAfrica,  strictly enforces weight limits for our porters, which is one of the reasons that we have 18 of them with us.  Having so many people also allows one of them to take a very light load and run ahead, literally, to get the best campsite for us every night."...

Marangu Hotel Kilimanajaro Tours

..."The hotel itself had been keeping track of the success rate and according to Desmond 87 % comes (sic) to Stella Point at the crater rim and about 70 % makes it to Uhuru peak (the very top of the mountain)"...

So How Much Does A Kilimanjaro Trek Cost?

The simple answer is that it varies according to your requirements. There is no "one size fits all" cost because of all the variables involved.

Do you want to go up quickly or take your time? Do you want to go by the path less travelled or the tried and tested route? In season or not? And so on and so on...

The only way to get a really definitive answer is to make a kilimanjaro tours rates and availability enquiry...
