    Mount Kilimanjaro climb

    Mount Kilimanjaro is the crown of Tanzania. At an altitude of 5895m Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, the highest freestanding mountain in the world, and one of the largest volcanoes ever to burst through the earth's crust. On a clear day it can be seen from more than 160km away, and although it stands only three degrees below the Equator, its peak is permanently covered with snow and ice.

    There is more than one way to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and, as an experienced Mount Kilimanjaro climb tour operator, Tribes offers a full range of options. Below is a rough outline of the differences, and to make your choice you need to consider your priorities. Remember that the longer you spend over the Mount Kilimanjaro climb the more time you have for acclimatisation and this will greatly increase your chances of a successful trek to the summit. And the shorter the route the steeper are the climbs!

    The guides and crew that we use are excellent.  Some of the local guides have climbed and been trained in the USA and on Everest and have years of experience on all the major routes.  Some of the guides have summited over 400 times!  The guides motivate you and look after your every need - ensuring that everyone safely gets to the top.  A high guide & porter to client ratio ensures a safe climb.

    We have monthly set group departures for Kilimanjaro climbs on the Machame route. Please refer to that itinerary.

    Pricing guidelines for Tanzania

    • Open Panel 

    We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

    International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Tanzania can combine easily with other East African countries.

    For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
