Suggested gear list for
Mount Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is one of the major
draw cards of Tanzania. Even though there are a large number of tourists
visiting this region it is still very difficult to hire good equipment.
Temperatures below –10C during the summit attempt are not uncommon. Be
prepared. Staff that are experienced in this region include
Sue Lushey at Mainpeak Cottesloe.
