It is difficult to give trekkers an all encompassing list of clothing and equipment required, however, we think we have pretty much covered it below. The days on Kilimanjaro will usually warm up where you may be able to wear just a shirt. Other days you will need considerably more warm clothing. As the altitude increases, the nights become cold to very cold. A good quality sleeping bag and warm clothing are essential.
No Showers on Kilimanjaro: There are no showers or washing facilities on Kilimanjaro. You only have what you pack until your return to Arusha.

You are limited to 15kg of personal gear (excluding day pack). This will be carried by a Porter. Extra Porters can be hired if needed.
Pro Tip
Take your Hiking Boots on the Plane! Just in case your luggage is delayed or lost. Items of clothing can be replaced, but it's hard to replace your hiking boots.
