Built for the mountain
We use the best products and brands, the cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery are made of strong materials to resist the tough requirements. The sleeping mats and the camping gears are made of sturdy but light materials to reduce weight for the porters.
Our equipment has to withstand extreme temperatures, snow and ice, storms and powerful sunlight. Good materials and regular maintenance keep it safe and durable, and all of it is replaced and updated periodically.
Where you sleep
Mountain huts
When climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on the Marangu route and during the Mt. Meru trekking, you will stay in the mountain huts which are similar in style, to Scandinavian wooden huts. Mattresses and electric lights are available.
Our tents
All other routes are camping routes and overnight accommodation, will be in 2 man tents equipped with sleeping mats. All meals will be served in a larger mess tent and camping tables and chairs are supplied by us.
Private chemical toilet
Our private trekking tour along the camping routes, we carry a chemical toilet with a toilet tent. The toilet situation in Kilimanjaro has been the biggest concern for mountaineers and this under taking will definitely be a big relief for all private trekking guests.
