Kilimanjaro Packing and Preparation

Practical guidance on clothing layers, footwear, personal equipment, training and altitude preparation before a Kilimanjaro climb.

Good equipment does not need to be complicated, but it must handle rain, cold, wind and strong sun. Layering is more useful than one very heavy item.

Start with the essentials

  • Broken-in hiking boots
  • Waterproof outer layers
  • Warm summit layers
  • Sleeping bag rated for mountain conditions
  • Daypack, hydration and sun protection

A full downloadable packing list can be requested from the trip page.
