The climb is physically and mentally demanding. The cost depends heavily on the individual needs and previous experience of the traveler. In addition, there is the available equipment and the choice of the desired route and duration of the climb. Therefore, only general statements about the costs can be made. In any case, the climb is worthwhile and a unique experience.
A classic climb takes five to seven days and a complete package costs between $1,800 and $3,000 at Tanzaniatrail. We say, “Satisfied customers are the result of good service,” so we price accordingly.
