Climb Mount Kilimanjaro without preparing the Kilimanjaro Climb Gear List. Mt. Kilimanjaro is on the bucket list of every new and experienced hiker. Towering at an altitude of 19, 341 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world and one of the seven summits in the world. This majestic mountain has five ecological zones, whereas adverse weather conditions and altitude sickness are the path-breakers of most hikers. At high altitudes, there is extremely cold weather, for which you need proper clothing and hiking gear to survive. If you are preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, then you should choose the best gear for Kilimanjaro. In order to be safe and comfortable throughout your Mount Kilimanjaro climb, you'll need to bring important gear and supplies with you. We have put together a comprehensive Kilimanjaro Packing List to help you prepare for your climb.
Trekking Kilimanjaro involves five main climate zones, from the warm, humid forest and lower slopes to the bitterly cold summit zone, with glaciers, ice, and snow. You need to be prepared for all Kilimanjaro weather conditions: sunny, windy, and rainy.
We provide tents, camp equipment, food, cooking facilities, and other shared items. You'll have a duffel bag with all your kit, carried by the porters, and carry your own daypack during the trekking day.
