How many tents does your group need?

As a starting point for a Kilimanjaro climb: one mess tent, one kitchen tent and one toilet tent per group, one guide tent, and enough crew tents to sleep every porter and cook. Groups of more than about eight climbers often split into two mess tents. Tell us your group size and we'll work out the numbers.

Tent rental questions

Which tents does a Kilimanjaro camp need?

A standard camp has sleeping tents for climbers, a mess (dining) tent, a kitchen tent, crew tents for porters and cooks, a guide tent and usually a toilet tent with a portable toilet. Group size and route length decide the quantities. Our camping equipment checklist gives typical numbers.

Can I rent just a toilet tent and portable toilet?

Yes. Single items can be rented on their own. We have 4 toilet tents and 6 portable toilets.

Are the tents checked before each rental?

Yes. Each tent is pitched or inspected after it comes back, cleaned, dried and checked for poles, pegs, zips and seams before it goes out again. Missing or damaged parts are replaced first.
