Please Tell Me About A Typical Day On A Mount Kilimanjaro Climb With Uhuru Trails By Map Adventure Safari.
A trek day on Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania starts early. At about 0600 hours, your personal porter/waiter brings a bowl of hot water for your morning wash, and then a cooked breakfast is served in the mess tent. As the weather begins to clear and the skies brighten, this is the best moment for photos of the spectacular views. Later in the day, clouds or mist may roll in.
How Do I Pack For A Kilimanjaro Trek?
Supportive, waterproof hiking boots are essential, and they must be well broken in. Do not risk losing them as delayed luggage on your international flight into Tanzania – wear them on the plane or carry them in your hand luggage. Trekking poles are recommended for slippery mud and loose scree. Gaiters can be hired or brought in
What Gear Do I Need To Carry In My Day Backpack And How Should I Pack It?
Every day you will repack your two bags. A small or medium-sized backpack holds only what you need to trek from one camp to the next, plus your water bottles and items such as energy snacks. Everything else goes in the duffle bag for your personal porter, neatly sorted into waterproof plastic bags. Keep your documents, passport, and wallet with you at all times.
