We have sourced these ratings for you from TripAdvisor and other leading platforms to validate that our partners are 5-star rated. Please note that many of our local partners are selling tours predominantly via international agencies rather than directly. Therefore, some of them do not yet have as many independent ratings in their own name as you will find for international brands.
Budget | Economy | Premium | Luxury | VIP
To make it easier for you to compare what’s included in different offers and to find the package that best meets your personal preferences, we’ve created our own system to classify Tours by a minimum standard of inclusions (1-Budget | 2-Economy | 3-Premium | 4-Luxury | 5-VIP):

Why it matters:
The predominant problem caused by Kilimanjaro tourism is the exploitation of porters. Porters are the ones who make Kilimanjaro tours possible for the vast majority of climbers, and who do all the heavy lifting. Sadly, our summit success often comes at the cost of the very people who help us reach our mountaintop.
How we care:
We partner with the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP) to provide assistance and only promote KPAP Partner companies to you.
How you can make a difference:
Climb with a KPAP Partner company
Pay recommended tips to your crew for their service
Report any issues to us or via the KPAP Climber Survey
Why it matters:
Mount Kilimanjaro has its dangers. An estimated up to 10 tourists die on the mountain every year, mostly due to altitude sickness. With the right preparation, this is mostly avoidable. Currently, there is no objective benchmark to measure and compare the safety record and attention of Kilimanjaro tour operators.
How we care:
We only work with KPAP Partner companies. While KPAP does not measure safety criteria, we believe that companies who are committed to fair porter treatment are on average also more likely to be committed to your safety compared to the industry average (especially guides and companies who are not even duly licensed).
How you can make a difference:
Educate yourself thoroughly about the risks involved, especially altitude sickness
Contract your climb with a responsible tour operator
Ascend slowly, drink lots of water, go on optional acclimatization hikes
Why it matters:
Waste is always a problem related to tourism. To protect the Kilimanjaro National Park and its pristine state, it is imperative to leave no waste behind.
How we care:
All our partner tour operators that we promote are committed to the Leave No Trace principles.
How you can make a difference:
Leave no waste behind
Only walk on the designated hiking paths
Use toilets whenever available, especially for solid waste
