Just as there are backpacker hostels and 5-star hotels, Kilimanjaro climb operators and packages range from low budget to luxury. Prices vary due to:
- Airport transfers and pre/post climb accommodation (if included)
- Type and quality of camping equipment (tents, private toilet, etc.)
- Type and quality of safety equipment (oxygen, hyperbaric chamber, stretcher, etc.)
- Training and experience of your guide(s) (WFR, CPR)
- Responsible tourism practices, especially treatment of your mountain crew
- Distribution (agencies with high-street offices vs. online agencies vs. local outfitters)
- Safety (agencies in countries with strong traveler protection vs. those without assurance)
- Marketing (can be value add/helpful information, or misleading – watch out)
