6-Day Marangu Route: A Classic Trek to the Roof of Africa-kilimanjaro treking
Absolutely incredible Kilimanjaro trek The entire team at Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari made my Kilimanjaro trek and visit to Moshi incredible from start to finish - can’t say enough amazing things! They were super helpful and professional in preparing for the hike and helping me rent some gear. Once on the mountain, my guide Lazaro was the best possible resource and friend. Having climbed Kili hundreds of times, he was able to bring us up quickly and with complete safety - he even managed to avoid a cold summit attempt by changing our itinerary. The trek itself was very comfortable, with the cook and porters being super friendly and providing every comfort and energy I needed to climb. Even after the hike, Lazaro and the team were super friendly and made sure I had fun in Moshi. HUGE thank you!!

What our customers ask about Budget Tours to Mount Kilimanjaro
When is the most affordable time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
Plan your Kilimanjaro climb during April-May or November to save 20-30% on rates compared to peak season. These months bring more rain especially on the Machame and Marangu routes. The Lemosho Route stays relatively dry throughout the year but costs more. One TourRadar traveler shared: "We saved significantly by climbing in November - just had to be prepared for some afternoon showers but overall great experience."
Which route offers the best value for money on Kilimanjaro?
The Marangu Route known as the "Coca-Cola Route" provides the best value with mountain hut stays instead of camping. Expect to pay from USD 1,800 for a 5-6 day trek. The Machame Route costs from USD 2,000 for 6-7 days and the Lemosho Route runs USD 2,200 for 7-8 days. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Marangu Route was perfect for our budget while still getting the full Kilimanjaro experience."
What type of accommodation is provided on budget Mount Kilimanjaro tours?
Budget climbs combine basic lodging with camping. You'll spend nights before and after the climb at places like Springlands Hotel or K's Hotel in Moshi. During the trek you'll sleep in 4-season tents at spots like Machame Camp and Barranco Camp. The tour operators provide all camping equipment. As one TourRadar traveler noted "the camping equipment was good quality and kept us warm even at high altitudes."
What level of guiding can I expect on a budget Kilimanjaro tour?
Each budget tour comes with licensed English-speaking guides trained in high-altitude safety and first aid. You'll have 1 guide for every 2-3 climbers plus support staff. Extra guide support is provided at challenging sections like Lava Tower Barranco Wall and Uhuru Peak. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Our guide on the Machame Route was extremely professional and safety-conscious despite this being a budget tour."
What additional costs should I budget for beyond the tour price?
Plan for several extra costs: USD 200-300 per person for staff tips USD 50-100 for visas USD 100-200 for gear rentals and USD 50-100 for evacuation insurance. You'll want extra cash for drinks and snacks in Moshi and at places like Springlands Hotel. TourRadar travelers suggest "setting aside at least USD 500 for additional expenses beyond the tour cost."
