Other equipment for Kilimanjaro

A Kilimanjaro kit list

Any trekking agency on Kilimanjaro worth its licence will provide a tent, as well as cooking equipment, cutlery and crockery. You will still need to pack a few other items, however, if you don’t want to return from your trek as a sun-burnt, snow-blinded, dehydrated wretch with hepatitis and hypothermia.

Most of these items can be bought or rented in Moshi or Arusha. Your agency can arrange equipment rental, which is the most convenient way, though you may well find it cheaper to avoid going through them as they will, of course, take their cut.

Note that the following lists concern the trek only. It does not include items necessary for other activities you may have planned on your holiday, such as binoculars for your safari, or a bucket and spade for Zanzibar.

Before buying or renting all of the following, check to see what your

agency will supply as part of their trekking package. Many will provide mattresses and water purifiers, for example, which will save you a little.
