Mount Kilimanjaro Packing and Camera Tips


Mount Kilimanjaro Packing and Camera Tips

by Kathleen Lisson

In the article ‘How to Pack for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro: Tips, Gear and Advice,’ Caryn shares the tip - "Pack one complete hiking outfit on the plane, including a long sleeve shirt, hiking pants, underwear, socks, and hiking boots."


Her other tips include bringing a camera “that is small and fits in your hip pockets of the backpack” so you will not have to “take off the daypack to take pictures,” putting hair in pig-tail braids and using your iPod on summit night. 


One thing I had never thought of was the need to practice layering clothes BEFORE the trip to ensure that I won’t “get to the mountain and realize you can’t layer them. Big Uh Oh.”


Tips on what size dry sacks to bring and how to store your batteries and camp shoes are in the full text of the article “How to Pack for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro: Tips, Gear and Advice” here:
