Why is there a difference in price with tour operators?
When planning to summit Kilimanjaro, you can overpay, for the route that you want to take, special needs services, and several days that you want to spend on the mountain. The question is, why do prices on the same route and for the same number of days differ? Cheap operators may sacrifice:
- Safety equipment
- Contract out your climb to unknown companies
- Poor salary to porter, guides and chefs,s, not the one recommended by KPAP, TPO & KINAPA (recommended salary by KPAP, TPO and TANAPA is $10 per day per porter, $15 per day per chef and $20-25per guide per day)
- Poor services on the mountain
- Non-certified guides with no medical training
- Neglect proper cooking preparations
- Exclude private sanitary facilities
- Poor group equipment
- Select quick and crowded routes
……the list can go on and on……
Overpriced operators pay a hefty premium for top internet ad space, include unnecessary days on and off the mountain, mail costly promotional material, or simply charge thousands more to illicit an increased sense of security and/or comfort.
