Questions
Who qualifies for Tanzanian resident prices?
People with a valid Tanzanian residence permit (Class A, B or C) or a dependant’s visa.
The park authority, TANAPA, charges residents much lower park fees than visitors, and our prices come down with them. Holding a Tanzanian, Kenyan, Ugandan, Burundian, Rwandan or South Sudanese passport? Our East African citizen prices are lower still.
What do I need to send when I book?
A high-resolution scan of your residence permit and of your passport photo page.
Since 17 March 2021 the park authority has required us to upload both for every Tanzanian resident climbing Kilimanjaro, and your eligibility is checked at the gate when the climb begins.
I live in Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. Can you meet my flight?
Yes. Add an airport pickup and a hotel in Arusha in the calculator, and it shows your price straight away.
We meet you at Kilimanjaro International Airport, drive you to Arusha and take you back for your flight home. If you already live in Arusha or Moshi, leave them out: the climb price includes picking you up there.
Can friends visiting from abroad climb with me?
Yes. Add them in the calculator: they pay our standard price, and they count towards your group size, so everyone’s price comes down.
The resident price depends on the park fees, which depend on each climber’s permit, so visitors without one pay the visitor fees. Their standard Advantage price already includes their airport transfers and a night in Arusha before and after the climb. Our standard prices are on our prices page.
How do I book?
Send us your choices on WhatsApp or through our contact page, and we confirm the details.
