After some research, decided on the Machame route because:
- Best success rate and better scenery (compared to other routes)
- Real camping on the trek and most challenging route (want to build stamina before the final push ;-) )
- More tour operators support this route
Choosing the Tour Operator
My main source for research and choosing operators is TripAdvisor. I started sending out request for 7 day Kili climb and 7 day safari quotes to about 10 operators. The list of operators that I found are from the book "Kilimanjaro : the trekking guide to Africa's highest mountain" and the list of operators with positive feedback in TripAdvisor. The price quotes that I received from these operators varied anywhere from $3400 to $6000 for the two week trip...more at My Kilimanjaro trekking story
