Gear Rental in Moshi

What Kilimanjaro Gear Should You Rent?

You do not need to own every item on a Kilimanjaro equipment list. Bulky or specialist items such as a four-season sleeping bag, trekking poles, gaiters, rain gear or additional cold-weather layers may make sense to rent, particularly if you are unlikely to use them regularly after your climb.

Personal-fit equipment should generally be brought from home. We strongly recommend arriving with well-broken-in hiking boots, suitable socks, base layers and other personal clothing that you have already tested during training.

Rental equipment is subject to availability, so we recommend reserving the items you need before arriving in Moshi. Your gear can then be checked and fitted before your Kilimanjaro climb.

Gear rental is available only to hikers booked on a Kilimanjaro climb with Kilimanjaro Hiking Tours. We do not offer stand-alone equipment rental to hikers climbing with other operators.
Kilimanjaro Equipment Rental

Rent the Gear You Need for Kilimanjaro

You do not need to buy every item of mountain equipment for a single climb. Our Kilimanjaro gear rental service allows our hikers to rent selected equipment in Moshi before starting their trek.

Our rental list includes sleeping bags, trekking poles, gaiters, rain gear, duffel bags, daypacks and other useful Kilimanjaro hiking gear. Most rental prices are charged per item for the complete climb unless otherwise stated.

Rental equipment, sizes and quantities are subject to availability, so we recommend reserving the items you need before travelling to Tanzania.
