Kilimanjaro Tents

What To Expect from Kilimanjaro Tents?

• Nighttime is going to be chillier than you expect.
• Be prepared to sleep in layers even from the first night. Also, bring your own warm sleeping bag liner to complement the sleeping bag given to you.
• Don’t expect the squat toilet bathrooms to be clean, but there will always be squat toilets available in a covered building of some guide, usually divided by gender and sometimes divided by “tourists” and “porters.”
• All trekkers are required to sign their names in a book at each campsite upon arrival, providing their names, ages, occupations, nationality, and number of people, guide name, and signatures.
• One of the assistant guides or cooks will serve your breakfast and dinner in the “mess tent”.
• Bring your empty water bottles and camel packs to the mess tent during breakfast or dinner and your Kilimanjaro Guide will refill it for you.
• Each morning, your assistant guide will give you a wake-up call 30 minutes before breakfast.
• To wash yourselves, you’ll receive a bowl of warm water about 30 minutes before dinner and breakfast every day.
• Don’t miss a chance of stargazing at camp once everyone has finished with dinner.
• Pack hand warmers, foot warmers, and body warmers for a quick good night’s sleep.
