As you can find out in Kilimanjaro Diaries, I booked our Kilimanjaro climb through Zara Tours in Moshi, Tanzania, an outfitter we were very happy with. However, to accommodate the different needs and budgets of everyone, here is a (still growing) list of Kilimanjaro tour operators:

Zara Tours: I’m not sure if anyone can ever come close to Godlisten Mkonyi, our head guide, so Zara Tours stands at the top of my list.

Kandoo Adventures: I love how organized their website is, covering climate, routes, and other important Kili information. Also, if the climbing bug hits you, you can use them again to venture to Machu Picchu, Aconcagua, and the Himalayas.
