Meals / Food
saved while Camping & Trekking
Remember to tell us if you have any
special dietary requirements – because both meat and nuts form a
substantial part of the food on Kilimanjaro. All meals on
Kilimanjaro are prepared with as many fresh ingredients as possible.
On the mountain it is essential to try and eat as much as possible
and to keep very well hydrated on the climb.
 Your
body uses up to three times as much water compared to normal whilst
at altitude, so keeping hydrated is essential. Take in as much
liquid as you can during meals - hot drinks, cold drinks and soups
are all there to keep you well hydrated. Keep drinking during the
day - you should be drinking at every opportunity and at no point on
Kilimanjaro should you be in need of a drink.
Note. Special diets can be accommodated
with prior notice.

Preparation on the Climbing or Trekking the Kilimanjaro.
Officially anyone aged from 12 may attempt the climb. However it is
not that easy. The important things to remember are to come prepared
and to take it slowly. If you have the chance, spend an extra
acclimatization day half way up. Being well equipped will also
increase your chances of succeeding in reaching the summit. In
particular, be sure you have a warm sleeping bag (-10°C), insulating
mat, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hat, sunglasses or snow
goggles, sun cream, a large water bottle and a first aid kit.
Altitude sickness is often a problem while climbing Kilimanjaro. If
you know you are susceptible to this you are advised not to attempt
the climb. Symptoms include bad headache, nausea, vomiting and
severe fatigue. This can be avoided by ascending slowly and if at
all possible spending an extra day half way up to acclimatize.
Altitude sickness can be cured simply by descending to a lower
altitude. Some medication (Diamox for example) helps if taken before
the ascent. You can greatly increase your chance of success by using
supplementary oxygen.
