How much money to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro?

Is it possible and legal to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro by yourself?

  • I am planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro but I want to do it with just another friend not going with a company or anything. Is it possible to just go there and hire a local guide for the trek?

  • Answer:

    You could climb without joining an expensive trek, but you will still need to book/register your climb with an official agency, pay the required park fees (see link below), and hire local guides. Climbing by yourselves will also mean that you have to carry everything you need for several days. The organised treks, while costly, cover all fees and include porters to carry the bulk of your gear, and cooks for your meals. http://www.climbmountkilimanjaro.com/first-time-climbers/budget-for-kilimanjaro/the-cost-of-climbing-kilimanjaro/kilimanjaro-park-fees/index.html

Yes I believe it is possible. The mountain has many experienced guides, but usually treks are in a group of people (not necessarily people you know). So you and your friend would be up with another group of people. The best time to go is January-March and the cost can range between $1000-$3000 depending on a variety of factors. Here is the official website: http://www.climbmountkilimanjaro.com/index.html That's all the information you need, in that site. Good luck!
