Equipment Recommendations for Kilimanjaro Climbers
This area of the site is to help climbers with equipment recommendations. Trekkers or skiers without experience of high altitude can sometimes under-estimate the quality of equipment needed to be comfortable above 4,000 metres.
Each product page is linked to an Amazon listing on either amazon.com for US-based trekkers, or amazon.co.uk for Brits - to make things as easy as possible.
If you have recently climbed Kilimanjaro and had purchased any gear for your climb on Amazon that you were particularly happy with, do please email us at info@teamkilimanjaro.com or WhatsApp us and let us have a link to the listing you used, so we can better help future climbers 👍
