Complete Kilimanjaro Packing List

• - Warm Hat
• - Sun Hat: Good for protecting your face and neck from the sun.
• - Balaclava: A balaclava is great to keep your face protected from the cold wind and on summit night.
• - Polarized Sunglasses: To stop the dangerous reflections from the snow which can hurt your eyes.

• - Sports Bra: Sports bras are perfect as they take the sweat away from the body.
• - 2 x Thermal Long Sleeved Top: This is your ‘base layer’
• - 2 x Tops: You will probably want to take another couple of short sleeved or long sleeved sports tops like these ones to wear also, again, with wicking properties (not cotton). These tops draw the sweat away from your body so that you don’t get too cold.
• - 2 x Fleece Jumpers: I’d recommend taking at least a couple of jumpers, in a warm/quick-drying material like fleece and preferably ones that you can layer.
• - Insulated Jacket: To be used on summit night and in the evenings at the campsite
• - Waterproof/windproof Jacket: Breathable, lightweight and waterproof (and preferably windproof) outer layers are best.
• - Gloves: Take 2 pairs of gloves the liner gloves are good, paired with a thicker pair for summit night.

• - 4/5 x Trousers/Leggings: When you are walking, you’ll probably not feel the cold too much, except on summit night, so lightweight hiking trousers or sports leggings are fine most of the time and you can always layer them if you do get cold. Make sure you have at least a couple of thermal pairs.
• - Waterproof/windproof Trousers:
• - Liner Socks: Take a pair for every day, clean socks are nice!
• - Walking Socks: 4 pairs of walking socks, with different thicknesses.
• - Gaiters: Good for the wet season.

• - Walking Boots: They should have good ankle and arch support and be super comfortable and have room for thick socks.
• - Trainers/Sandals: Good for the evenings to give your feet a rest from your heavy boots.
