    Mount Kilimanjaro packaging list<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

    Welcome to your Kilimanjaro adventure! To make sure you\u2019re fully prepared, be sure to pack everything on the Mount Kilimanjaro Packing List.<\/p>

    Missing something?<\/strong>
    Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got you covered! RLAT offers the best prices around for renting mountain equipment\/gear. Our equipment\/gears are new and in the best condition to ensure a successful climb.<\/p>

    Temperatures on Kilimanjaro can vary greatly, so it\u2019s important to have the right clothing and equipment. Layering thin items that you can easily add or remove is the way to go. And don\u2019t worry about overpacking \u2013 the National Park limits main equipment bags to 15kg per porter, which is plenty for your needs. We\u2019ll weigh your bag before you start the climb to make sure everything is good to go.<\/p>
