Do I need to bring a water filter or purification system? No, you don’t need to bring a water filter or purification system. We provide all the drinking water you’ll need during your climb. We source water from nearby mountain streams and boil it thoroughly to ensure it’s safe to drink.
The water is clean and tastes great on its own. However, if you prefer a flavored drink or want to replenish electrolytes, feel free to bring powdered sports drink mixes or flavor enhancers.
Our water purification process follows the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality (GDWQ). According to WHO, bringing water to a rolling boil effectively eliminates harmful bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. This ensure it is completely safe for human consumption.
Rest assured, hydration is a top priority during your Kilimanjaro climb. We’ll ensure you stay well-supplied with safe, great-tasting water. You are however welcome to bring a water filter or purification system.
