Why prices differ so much between Kilimanjaro operators
You get three types of Kilimanjaro operators: luxury, value-for-money and budget. We explain the different types of operators, why budget operators are able to offer such low prices, and what to look for to ensure you have a safe, enjoyable climb.
When a Kilimanjaro tour operator offers you a price tag below $2,000 per person for a climb, you want to ask yourself what's being left out or compromised to make that price possible?
