ABOUT KILIMANJARO EQUIPMENTS & GEARS
We know that planning a Kilimanjaro Gear List can be a daunting task, so we’ve made it for you by putting together a wide-ranging packing guide that you can follow!
If you pack everything as per our Kilimanjaro Gear List, you can rest assured that you’ll be fine on your Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
Communal equipment (tents, food, utensils, etc.) is provided. You are responsible for bringing the required, recommended and
optional personal gear and equipment listed below. The most common mistake that climbers make is that they over pack. Be
selective in what you take with you. Our porters are limited to carrying 33 lbs. (15 kgs) of your personal belongings.
