TREK DATES AND PRICES
Our public trek dates, our prices – and what is included in your trekking package
Our Dates
The following table shows the schedule for public treks for 2020 and 2021 so far, along with the per person price to join each one.
You notice that we give a range of prices for each trek. The first price is the one you’ll pay if you are booking for eight or more people. The second, higher price is the one you pay if there are only one or two people in your booking. (Basically, the more people you can get to trek with you, the cheaper the price will be!)
For the actual price you’ll pay, please see the price table below.
What if the dates on which I wish to trek are not listed in the table below?
If there are two or more of you, we can arrange a trek for whatever dates you want, and on whatever route you want – for the same price as if you had joined one of the scheduled treks below (and, again, if there are three or more of you it will actually be cheaper than the prices advertised below). Please note that, unless you specify that you want a private trek, we will try to add other trekkers to your party by advertising your climb on this page.

1) Dates: The starting and finishing dates refer to the time you actually spend on the mountain and thus do not include the days you spend in Tanzania before and after your trek.
2) Prices: The prices listed are the per person prices. The higher price is the one you’ll pay if there are just one or two people joining the trek. It is also the per person price if two people want a private trek (where they can choose the exact date they want to start their trek, and the route they wish to take on the mountain). Discounts are available for three or more people (whether joining a trek or wanting a private trek of their own); the first figure is the lowest price you’ll pay, and refers to the cost if you’re booking for eight or more people.
For the actual price you’ll pay, please see the price table below.
3) Rates are subject to TANAPA Park Fee increases – sometimes without significant prior notice.
4) These rates refer to a fully inclusive package with two nights accommodation on a B&B basis, airport transfers etc. You can find out exactly what is and isn’t included by looking below.
5) Don’t forget – for the answers to any questions not answered in this section – just send us an email!
Our Kilimanjaro Trek Prices
The following are our prices for 2020-21. There are some important things to note about this table:
- All prices in the table below are per person. Note that while the prices are in US dollars (US$), you can pay in a variety of currencies including pounds sterling (£), euros (€), Australian dollars (AU$) and many others.
- If you are a solo trekker, you can either book a private trek – in which case, the prices in the first column are relevant; or you can opt to join one of our public treks, in which case the prices in the second column are for you.
- The number of trekkers on the top row refer to the number of people in your booking, not the number of people on your trek as a whole. So, for example, if there are four people in your booking, but eight people on the trek in total (ie your group plus four others), then you pay the four-person price, not the eight-person price.
- The prices for two or more people are the same whether you book a private trek or join a public one.
- Though it is possible to ascend to the summit and descend again in just five days, the minimum duration for our treks is six days. We think that five-day treks do not give trekkers sufficient time to acclimatise properly, so for reasons of safety we will not book treks that are less than six days in length.
- There are significant discounts to be had for trekkers under 16 years old and for those with an East African passport. These discounts can amount to almost US$1000 on the longer treks. The discount comes from reductions in the various park fees. (You can read more about these discounts in the guide book that we send you when you book with us.) We promise to pass on every last cent of this reduction to you, and will not take any profit from this for ourselves. You will have to send us a scan of your passport or proof of age in advance in order to get these discounts.
- If you require a trek that isn’t listed in the table – an 8-day Machame trek, for example, or 9-day Lemosho Route – then just get in touch and we’ll quote you a price; as a guideline, expect each extra day to cost about US$250 per person.
