We understand that climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a “once in a lifetime” experience for many. If you aren’t a regular mountain climber or trekker, you may need some additional equipment or gear for this unique experience – gear or equipment that you may only end up using once.
Nature Discovery offers high-quality rental gear to help you keep down the overall costs of your trip. Rental gear includes rain and warm gear, warm body layers (as layering up is important), accessories like gloves and trekking poles, and of course sleeping gear like sleeping bags, and just about anything else you might need.
