Trekking gear questions

What trekking gear can I rent in Moshi?

We rent duffel bags (11), daypacks (4), headlamps (8), balaclavas (40), hiking boots (3 pairs) and binoculars (2). Sleeping bags, down jackets and trekking poles are not in stock yet, so plan to bring them or ask your tour operator.

Should I rent hiking boots for Kilimanjaro?

Only if you have no choice. Boots that are already broken in are the best protection against blisters. If you rent, try them on in Moshi a day before the climb and walk in them. Our boot sizes are limited, so send your size before you arrive.

Can I reserve gear before I travel to Tanzania?

Yes. Send your arrival date, items and sizes on WhatsApp. We confirm availability and hold the items for your dates once you accept the quote.

Travelling light to Kilimanjaro?
