What people love about touring Mount Kilimanjaro solo
- 5 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Hike - Marangu Route
It was a fantastic experience and the guide/team were perfect from beginning till the end.
- 11 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climb Northern Circuit Route. (all Accommodation & Transport are included)
Click Expedition had us from beginning to end of our Africa trip. They were professional, prompt, and friendly. Definitely 5 stars. We loved our drivers, guides, the gear and the coordinators. They communicated well from beginning to end. I would use them again in a second. We booked a Safari at the end of our trip and that also was very nice. I’m very pleased with Click Expedition .
- Mount kilimanjaro climbing through rongai route 8 days (all accommodation and transport are included)
Click Expedition, beat my expectations from the very start. Emails were always answered in a timely manner, the hotel was beautiful, and the team on the mountain was always smiling, dancing and making sure everyone was safe and enjoying the mountain. Despite being one of the most cost effectiveness options - there was nothing I saw that suffered from the lower cost. Food was fantastic, rental gear was in good condition and the team on the mountain was by far the most enthusiastic and happy to be there. Go with Click Expedition, you won't regret it!!!
What our customers ask about Mount Kilimanjaro Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the best route for solo travelers climbing Kilimanjaro?
The Rongai route stands out for solo travelers due to its steady, gradual climb and clear pathways. Small groups move at a steady pace, giving climbers time to spot local wildlife and get used to the altitude. Tour companies like Kiriwe Travel pair travelers with guides who speak English and Swahili, making this northern approach ideal for those climbing alone.
What kind of accommodation can I expect during the trek?
Nights on the mountain are spent in quality two-person tents at established campsites. Before and after the climb, travelers stay at hotels like Panama Garden Resort in Moshi town, which offers clean rooms with hot showers. Tour operators provide sleeping bags rated for mountain temperatures, sleeping mats, and waterproof tents.
How safe is it to climb Kilimanjaro as a solo female traveler?
Female climbers regularly complete the Kilimanjaro trek safely, supported by professional guides and crew members throughout the journey. Companies like Great Lake Expedition can arrange female guides when requested. Recent climbers report feeling secure with the constant presence of experienced guides during the entire trek.
What medical support is available for solo climbers?
Guides check climbers' health twice daily, measuring oxygen levels and watching for altitude sickness signs. Each group carries medical supplies and supplemental oxygen. Companies like Migration Venture Africa have clear emergency plans and can arrange quick evacuations when needed.
How much should I expect to pay as a solo traveler?
A Kilimanjaro climb costs between $1,600 and $3,000, with price differences based on route choice and trip length. The shorter 5-day Marangu route with Almighty Kilimanjaro starts at $1,600, while longer options like the 8-day Rongai route with Kiriwe Travel cost around $2,995.
What meals are provided during the climb?
Climbers receive three fresh meals daily plus trail snacks. Companies like Kilimanjaro Economy Safari employ mountain cooks who prepare hot breakfasts, packed lunches, and warm dinners. Most operators accommodate dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and halal options, using local and imported ingredients.
