As part of all our packages options do we supply tents, sleeping mats, camping gear, mess tent, cutlery, kitchen tent, cooking utensils and staff tents. Please note that the Marangu route offers accommodation in A-frame huts, not tents, so we will not supply camping gear.
What gear should you rent?
We recommend all hikers to bring the gear as per our final checklist. It is possible to rent gear such as sleeping bags, hiking poles etc for the hike. However strongly recommend that you buy personal items such as hiking boots, socks, thermal underwear etc.
We recommend that you book gear rental well in advance, as availability is limited. If you require an item that is not on the Kilimanjaro gear rental rates, please let us know, and we can try to arrange it.
We also recommend that you wear your hiking boots and carry the most important gear as hand luggage, when you travel to Tanzania. That way you will have the most important gear if the airline loose your luggage.
