Estimating the Cost of climbing Kilimanjaro is difficult due to the fact that foreign exchange rates are constantly fluctuating. The rates also fluctuate according to the number of individuals in a group and the time of year at which the expedition is made.

Costs vary between different tour operators, with some being far pricier than others. Indeed, it is important to keep in mind the fact that just because a tour is more expensive, does not necessarily mean that it will be better than a more economical option.
As a rule of thumb, those climbers electing to climb the mountain via the Machame or other less well known Routes can expect to pay more than those who opt for the more commercial Marangu Route. Typically total costs will include Flights, lodgings for one to two nights prior to and following the climb, accommodation and food on the mountain, as well as porters' and guides' basic wages. Visa costs, tips and money for extra ood and beverages will generally not be inclusive.
Anything from $800 to $3000 dollars is considered an acceptable rate, depending on the route that is being taken and the amenities included. It is possible on most tours to extend either one's ascent or descent by a day or two for somewhere between $100 and $200. Some tour operators may also allow for the option of a Safari package, which affords for the further exploration of either Tanzania or Kenya subsequent to the completion of the actual climb.
