Trekking Prices

 

Our Kilimanjaro trekking packages are designed to offer you affordable prices with top quality service. Our packages offer you comfortable bed and breakfast accommodations before and after your trek at one of Arusha's great hotels. All hotels are in close proximity to local restaurants where you can experience some of the local culture and cuisine.

 

We also offer you the option of adding an extra acclimatization day before your trek with the opportunity for a little rest from your long flight.

 

All our packages offer you the highest quality service on Kilimanjaro with your safety as our #1 concern, but with a high concern for also providing an ethical service- ensuring that all Tanzanian licenses and fees are fully paid and up to date, and that all porters and staff receive fair wages.

 

If you are interested in luxury accommodations before and after your climb please contact us for more details.
