want to do Kilimanjaro using Machame route. What are the differences in cost between a private and group trek?

group treks offer cost-saving benefits

Want to join a group in July for Kilimanjaro. My friends tell me that Machame is the best for climbing Kilimanjaro so I want to use it. I am a solo traveler, is this okay and acceptable to join a group as one person? What are the items that I can get from your company so that I do not have a lot of baggage and what are the costs? How much extra will I be charged for a portable toilet?

The Machame route is a popular choice for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, known for its scenic beauty and well-established trail. While it is a popular route, it's not necessarily the "best" for everyone. The best route depends on individual preferences, fitness levels, and desired experience. We can join you to the group on that date. Extra charge for the private portable toilets $100 the whole day. You can rent the extra thing that you want in our store.

I am hoping to be on my summer leave in July and I want to do Kilimanjaro. Would you please let me know if you hve groups leaving on July 6? What are the requirements for travel to Tanzania, do I need vaccinations? How much is the Visa? Please note that I am traveling solo

Travel Requirements for Tanzania: -Visa: For most nationalities, a single-entry tourist visa costs $50. However, U.S. citizens are required to obtain a multiple-entry visa priced at $100, valid for 12 months. -Vaccinations: A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory only if you're arriving from or transiting through a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission. If you're traveling directly from countries without such risk (e.g., the U.S. or Europe), the vaccine isn't required

How will the weather be at this time? We do not want to go when its raining.

July is a great time to climb Kilimanjaro—it's the dry season with clear skies and low chances of rain. Perfect trekking weather!

How are the groups organized in terms of size? Do you have an all female group or it is a mixed sexes group? Can I get a private tent for my self and will it cost extra?

We arrange the climbs each and every day of the year for groups of any size, on any route; both private and open climbs. It is a mixed sexes group. Of course you can get private tent with extra cost $100 per whole trip

I want to plan for a trip to climb Kilimanjaro in May. Please guide me on the steps that I need to take so as to have a wonderful experience. We would want to focus on Kilimanjaro this time and also maybe do a day of safari to Ngorongoro Crater or Arusha National Park. If possible we can also do a cultural visit to some of the local places or tribes. Please advice

For the best results, plan for 8 weeks of training before your Kilimanjaro Trek. This will allow you to build your endurance and strength. In addition to regular gym workouts, make sure you also go for walks in order to stimulate relevant muscle development. Try to do a one or two day hiking trials in your area.

We are hoping to do Kilimanjaro at the end of March. We in our 40s and quite fit and have done a bot trekking in the alps and Peru, and we would love it if you would you advice us on the best route and also whether to do a private or a group trek

the best route that i cqn advice to with high success rate lemosho 8days

Will I have a personal tent or will I be required to share?

if you want a personal tent you will get it but you will pay extra cost

I'm interested in the trek but I'm traveling solo and would like to join another group of young adults. I'm flexible in my dates between late June and July 8th.

At present we don't have a group for May 27th but we are in touch with several clients who would confirm for the same date. Alternatively we have a group who will start the trekking on July 4, 2022 via 6 days Rongai Route.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route with Zara Tours was one of the most meaningful adventures we have shared. The 7-day itinerary gave us the time needed to acclimatize properly, and we could feel the benefit as we gained altitude. Each stage brought a new landscape, from thick rainforest and rolling moorland to dramatic alpine ridges beneath Kibo’s glaciers. The crew created a supportive and positive atmosphere every single day. Summit night was demanding, but their steady guidance helped us reach Uhuru Peak at sunrise, overwhelmed with joy and pride.Show more

As college students from Rotterdam visiting Tanzania for the first time, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the 7 day Machame Route was unforgettable. The conditions were tough, with cold nights and challenging altitude, but the team kept us safe with regular health checks, oxygen bottles, and full mountain supplies. The food was excellent, and the guides and porters were great company throughout. An incredible first African adventure.Show more

Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route with Clinton and Khatib from Zara Tanzania Adventures was an unforgettable adventure 🏔️. The trail took us from lush rainforest to steep, rocky alpine terrain, pushing us every step of the way. The team’s positivity and care turned tough days into great memories. Clinton’s expertise helped us handle the altitude and freezing nights with confidence. Incredible food by Mushi, quality equipment, and excellent care kept us going strong 💪.

I was provided with my own solo tent and felt comfortable and well supported throughout the trek. The guides, Lema and Bakari, were outstanding and kept us safe and motivated. Despite the tough conditions, the extra acclimatization day helped, the food was great, and the sunrise at Uhuru Peak was unforgettable.

Our family of five, ranging from teens to adults, had an unforgettable 7-day trek up Kilimanjaro via the Machame route. The journey was tough but incredibly rewarding, especially when we reached the summit together. Our guides Juma, Clinton, and Brad were amazing, always ensuring we felt safe, motivated, and supported, even during the rainy days. The excellent equipment, including quality rain gear, kept us comfortable throughout. Mushi, our chef, prepared delicious meals that fueled us each day, from hearty stews to fresh fruit, which kept our energy high. We also appreciated the clean portable toilet and the regular health checks to ensure we were staying on track. The atmosphere was lively, with the whole team guides, porters, and our family creating a sense of camaraderie that made the tough moments easier. We also learned so much about Kilimanjaro’s history and wildlife. Reaching the summit together was a moment we’ll never forget!Show more

Climbing Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours was an unforgettable experience. Our guides—Clinton, Musa, and Mushi—were incredible, offering expert advice and keeping spirits high every step of the way. The camping was surprisingly comfortable, with spacious tents set up by the porters and clean portable toilets at each campsite. The food exceeded my expectations, with hearty meals and hot drinks to keep us fueled. Summit night was tough, but the guides’ encouragement kept us going. Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise was indescribable. Zara Tours made everything seamless, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me reach the top.Show more

I traveled to Tanzania in early May to take on Mt. Kilimanjaro with Zara Tanzania Adventures, and honestly, the whole experience was unreal. We got picked up at the airport by Juma, who was super friendly, and headed straight to Springlands Hotel. The rooms were clean, comfy, and the breakfast was top-tier—perfect pre-climb vibes. The hike itself was tough, but in the best way. Since we went in early May, the trails weren’t crowded, which made everything feel more peaceful. The weather switched up constantly—hot, freezing, rain, sunshine—but it actually made the views even more insane. Every day felt like walking through a new universe: huge valleys, wild cloud layers, and epic glimpses of the snowy summit. The Zara crew seriously made the trip. I’m vegan, and the food was shockingly good—fresh fruit, veggies, and legit delicious meals that kept us powered up. Our guides—Yesse Lema, Jacksn, and Freddy—were absolute legends. They were supportive, chill, and helped us through the hardest parts (like sliding down from Lava Tower in pouring rain). Plus, the gear and tents were super solid and made camp feel way more comfortable than expected.Show more

We completed the 7-day Machame trek with Zara Tanzania and had an experience that will remain with us forever. I realized they were the right company for us from the beginning because they responded to all questions in a timely manner. We met Lema and Musa at our hotel, where they briefed us on the trek and checked that we had all the necessary gear. We met the rest of the team early the next morning and they are the true definition of excellence. They were friendly and attentive throughout the entire trip. The views and overall experience were special. I have total appreciation for the entire Zara Tanzania Adventures team.Show more

  Regarding this advice, I am pretty fit and I have done a bit of mountain climbing, like the Alps and Everest base camp and Mount Meru. I have seen the related costs for the portable toilet which seems reasonable. Would it be possible to split this cost if another person in our group wants to get the portable toilet, or its fixed?

  From the reviews we saw something about a mobile toilet. Is it really necessary and how much dies it cost?
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written May 2025
  A mobile toilet is not strictly necessary on Mount Kilimanjaro, but it is highly recommended especially for added comfort and hygiene. The public toilets at the camps can be basic and sometimes not well-maintained, so many climbers prefer the cleaner and more private option of a mobile toilet. The cost usually ranges from $100 for the entire climb.

  For the best results, plan for 8 weeks of training before your Kilimanjaro Trek. This will allow you to build your endurance and strength. In addition to regular gym workouts, make sure you also go for walks in order to stimulate relevant muscle development. Try to do a one or two day hiking trials in your area.

  What do you think is a good add on after Kilimanjro? something that is sort of relaxing and not exerting a lot of energy?
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written February 2025
  Obviously there's an almost endless list of things one can do after climbing Kilimanjaro, both within Tanzania and just beyond its borders. But we don't think such a list is useful what you really want is to know the very best options for nearby travel. Tanzania safari or Day Trips. Zanzibar beach holiday.

Asked on April 11th, 2022
I'm interested in the trek but I'm traveling solo and would like to join another group of young adults. I'm flexible in my dates between late June and July 8th.

  At present we don't have a group for May 27th but we are in touch with several clients who would confirm for the same date. Alternatively we have a group who will start the trekking on July 4, 2022 via 6 days Rongai Route.
