What to put in your daypack on Kilimanjaro
What to carry with you on the mountain
Normally you will not see your backpack from the moment you hand it to the porter in the morning to at least lunchtime, and maybe not until the end of the day. It’s therefore necessary to pack everything that you may need during the day in your bag that you carry with you. Some suggestions, in no particular order:
- sweets
- water and water purifiers
- camera and spare film/batteries
- the guidebook/maps
- sunhat/sunglasses and suncream
- compass
- toilet paper and trowel
- rainwear
- walking sticks and knee supports
- medical kit, including chapstick
- watch
- whistle
- lunch (supplied by your crew)
