Mt Kilimanjaro Trekking

Mt Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano that last erupted over 100 years ago but has snow cover year round because of its high altitude and proximity to the equator. Mt Kilimanjaro has three volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira; Uhuru Peak (5,895m) on Kibo is the highest point on the mountain with a crater that can be reached by hikers after an ascent of about six days from base camp at 3,600m altitude; Mawenzi
The Kilimanjaro trek is an unforgettable experience. It is a physical and mental challenge that requires a lot of preparation and time. But the reward is worth it: the stunning view of Kilimanjaro at sunrise, the feeling of accomplishment, and the satisfaction of knowing you have achieved something great.
There are many routes to take on Kilimanjaro, but they all follow the same general path: from Marangu Gate in Tanzania to Uhuru Peak in Kenya. The routes vary in terms of their difficulty and duration, but they all offer incredible scenery, wildlife sightings, and breathtaking views of Africa’s highest mountain.

The first route most commonly taken by trekkers is Marangu Route which takes 6 days with 3 camps (Marangu Gate to Horombo Hut) before reaching Uhuru Peak. This route has a height gain of 2,000 meters (6,500 ft) with only one steep section towards the summit.

Mt Kilimanjaro Trekking Prices

The price of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is not fixed and varies depending on the route you are going through, the day, and the accommodation. The fees range from 500 to 1000 dollars per person for 5, 6, 7 & 8-day hikes.
Prices may increase if you want to hire a guide or porter, or if you’re going to stay in luxury accommodation (instead of camping).

Asante sana for an outstanding experience I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro along the Lemosho route with KAT this August. I cannot recommend KAT highly enough. The tour was superbly organised and all the staff on the climb were extremely professional, supportive and warm. All the things large and small impressed our group, from the timely setting up of the tents and toilet, the excellent food (our cook was exceptional) to the guides who gave us the moral stamina and support, particularly critical for the last part of the climb, to reach the summit. At my age this was an immense challenge, but the guides' belief in my ability to make it got me to the top. Our group was German, and while all guides speak English KAT made sure our head guide also spoke German. You will not be disappointed with this tour operator!

Einfach Hammer Jambo 🙂 Es war der Hammer. 😀 Wir waren mit Andrew und Bariki am 15. Oktober 2020 auf dem Kilimamjaro. Die beiden und auch ihr ganzes Team waren so nett und herzlich. Es war ein richtig tolles Erlebnis. Danach gings dann noch mit Erik auf Safari. Ein super Guide der uns in 3 Tagen super viele Tiere gezeigt hat. Asante Sana an alle Beteiligten. Und Corona ist hier in Tansania überhaupt kein Problem. Es sind sehr wenige Touristen unterwegs und man kann daher super Abstand halten. Also kommt alle her und bucht eine Tour mit Kilimandscharo Active Tours. Tansania ist ein absolutes Traumziel. Super nette Leute und traumhafte Natur. Wir nehmen so viele tolle Erinnerungen mit nach Hause. Hakuna Matata, Kabisa. Martina & Jaqueline

Highly recommended We took our trip to Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro with KAT Moshi and can highly recommend choosing them if you also plan to go on that adventure! The whole management of the tour and especially the passion of the team that accompanied us were just perfect. We had Peter and Bariki as our guides and they never let us have a doubt that we will make it to the top of both mountains. More than that, no one in our group had symptoms of high altitude sickness, which means that the planning of the tour and the pace of our hiking were chosen perfectly by the team. If you want to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, do it with KAT!
