KILIMANJARO PACKING LIST
What you should bring:
The following information is seen as an essential list of what you should take with you on the mountain. A supplementary list follows for extra items as well. Extra items can be extremely hard to source in Tanzania, and whilst the guides can often help out with kit this is simply not a reliable source of their equipment may be being used! Please also note that this list should be used to check off items that you have. We will also check over your kit in the pre-climb briefing to make sure you are ready for a climb- there are times when luggage does not arrive with the aircraft and in those circumstances we will do our best to make sure you are well prepared for your climb.
Please try and keep your total weight of equipment on the mountain to around 15kg (30lbs) in your porter’s bag (duffel/soft bag/rucksack) knowing that you will be carrying extra 6kg in your day pack/small rucksack. Please advice us if you will be bringing more.
