Kilimanjaro is climatically unpredictable and you can walk through the Kilimanjaro trekking 5 different vegetation zones with nearly all temperatures. It may be hot, pouring rain (or snow) and cold are. Choosing the right equipment is important here.
The following list of equipment specified for a Kilimanjaro trekking is a personal suggestion of mine. Take-up basis - you complement them with your own experiences - or let us advise you in detail in a good outdoor store. But before you try anything from a couple of times, take nothing with brand-new, you avoid surprises on site.
Safe on holiday - a holiday without stress and obstacles
